Frequently asked questions about vanc.dot

For digital wallets, does .PAY require payment-related use after registration?

Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Why is an SMD more secure than just emailing my trademark certificate for vanc.dot?

An SMD is cryptographically signed by the TMCH, so NicNames can verify it automatically without manually inspecting a certificate when granting priority on vanc.dot. A loose certificate could be forged or mistyped; the signed SMD cannot. That is why vanc.dot priority relies on the SMD. Submit yours at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for a mobile wallet team?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

How do I document a clear chain of ownership for vanc.dot?

Keep accurate registrant records, trademark filings for the vanc.dot name, and internal approvals so NicNames's chain of ownership over vanc.dot is unambiguous. Good records support both renewals and any future dispute. https://domain.pay/

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 for a brand-protection manager?

The .PAY LRP policy does not make owning a domain a financial license. LRP1 eligibility is tied to conducting online payment transactions through an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor and payment-related use. Use domain.pay for the domain path: https://domain.pay/register; ask counsel about licensing.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
