Frequently asked questions about vfd.dot

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for digital wallets?

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 migrate an existing site onto vfd.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on vfd.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on vfd.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor vfd.dot for crawl errors afterward.

Can domain.pay submit my .PAY registration on opening day for loan repayments?

Start at domain.pay, search the label, then choose the right path: trademark fast-track if you qualify, or pre-order for a first-day attempt when broader access opens. Use this page: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is subject to registry rules and availability.

What is a TMCH SMD file and why do I need one to register vfd.dot?

A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a digital certificate the Trademark Clearinghouse issues after it validates your trademark. To claim vfd.dot under trademark priority you upload this SMD at registration so NicNames can verify your mark cryptographically. Without a valid SMD the priority window for vfd.dot cannot be opened. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing when choosing wallet.pay?

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.
