Frequently asked questions about vats.dot

As a checkout product manager, what is TMCH and why does it matter for .PAY?

TMCH is the Trademark Clearinghouse. For .PAY priority registration, the trademark record must be validated and the registrant needs a matching SMD file. domain.pay can help start the fast-track or submission path: https://domain.pay/register. Begin early because TMCH handling takes time.

How do I set up HTTPS and an SSL certificate on vats.dot?

Point vats.dot at your server via DNS first, then issue a certificate from a CA such as Let's Encrypt or your hosting provider's automated tool. Most platforms validate ownership of vats.dot over HTTP or DNS and renew automatically. Once installed, force all traffic to HTTPS with a redirect.

What date matters most if I want a .PAY name without a trademark for a mobile wallet team?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Why does Amazon Registry Services run .PAY launch phases for vats.dot?

As the registry operator, Amazon Registry Services administers the ICANN-required launch phases that vats.dot passes through, ensuring trademark protection in sunrise before public registration in general availability. domain.pay submits vats.dot within that framework at https://domain.pay/register.

When does the .PAY Trademark Claims period run for a brand-protection manager?

ICANN currently lists the .PAY Trademark Claims period from February 1, 2027 to May 2, 2027. For practical registration action, check your preferred label and pre-order path on domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

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.
