Frequently asked questions about visa.dot

Can domain.pay help me get TMCH/SMD support before the .PAY deadline for fraud prevention?

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.

Which file format does NicNames accept for trademark priority on visa.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard .smd (Signed Mark Data) file issued by the Trademark Clearinghouse for trademark priority on visa.dot. The file is a signed, encoded representation of your validated visa.dot mark. Other documents cannot substitute for the SMD. Upload it during registration at https://domain.pay/register.

Do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1 when choosing donate.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.

What happens to my $100 if visa.dot can't be secured?

If visa.dot cannot be secured, the standard $100 pre-order attempt is refundable, so the failed attempt won't cost you. That safety net makes pursuing visa.dot candidates low-risk. Pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.

For fraud prevention, do I need a financial license to register a .PAY domain during LRP1?

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.
