Frequently asked questions about votes.dot

How exact does my trademark need to be for a .PAY Sunrise registration when choosing wallet.pay?

.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.

Does owning votes.dot require a trademark?

No, a trademark is not required to own votes.dot. A trademark only grants priority during the early window; without one you can still place a first-day pre-order for votes.dot. Trademark holders simply get to claim votes.dot names ahead of the general queue at /register.

How should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing for digital wallets?

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.

How can I verify that votes.dot is genuinely owned by NicNames?

Publish votes.dot from your official, verified channels and reference it consistently so customers can cross-check the votes.dot address against known NicNames sources. Owning votes.dot yourself is what makes such verification meaningful. Claim it at https://domain.pay/register.

Why is .PAY important for phishing prevention for in-app purchases?

.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.

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.
