Frequently asked questions about visional.dot

For mobile money, do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window?

An SMD file is the TMCH-issued credential used to prove a validated mark during Sunrise. For .PAY, bring your SMD or use domain.pay’s full fast-track if you need help obtaining one: https://domain.pay/register. The SMD must match the requested label.

Why might visional.dot need a claims acknowledgment before registration?

visional.dot may need a claims acknowledgment if visional.dot matches a Trademark Clearinghouse record during the claims period, confirming you are aware of the trademark holder's rights. The domain.pay flow walks you through this for visional.dot. Continue your visional.dot request at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for cross-border payments?

.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.

Can I register visional.dot for a client or third party?

You can place a pre-order or priority request for visional.dot on behalf of a client, with the registrant details for visional.dot set in the order. For trademark priority, the SMD file must match the owner of the mark. Set up the visional.dot order at https://domain.pay/register.

When does the .PAY LRP1 period begin for fraud prevention?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
