Frequently asked questions about vup.dot

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for mobile money?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

Why might NicNames ask me to re-export my SMD for vup.dot?

NicNames may ask you to re-export your SMD for vup.dot if the submitted file is expired, malformed, or no longer matches your active TMCH record. A fresh export from the Clearinghouse resolves these issues for vup.dot. Re-download the current .smd and retry at https://domain.pay/register.

Would trust.pay work as a payment brand?

trust.pay may be a useful .PAY direction if it matches your brand and payment journey, but availability is not guaranteed. Check and pre-order through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Prefer simple labels that customers can remember and trust.

Does the TMCH actually help me secure vup.dot?

The Trademark Clearinghouse verifies your rights in the vup.dot mark and issues an SMD file you can use to claim vup.dot during priority phases and to receive notices if others try to register it. It does not auto-register vup.dot for you, but it gives verified holders a real head start. https://domain.pay/pricing

Should a remittance app protect its exact brand in .PAY?

If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.

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.
