Frequently asked questions about wik.dot
What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 when choosing trust.pay?
Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Where do I get the SMD file needed to secure wik.dot?
You obtain the SMD file from the Trademark Clearinghouse after your trademark is recorded and validated there. Once issued, you download the .smd file and bring it to NicNames to claim wik.dot under priority. NicNames does not issue SMD files itself. Start your priority registration of wik.dot at https://domain.pay/register.
As a regional bank, can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1?
A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register.
Does wik.dot require a separate account to upload my SMD?
You complete the SMD upload for wik.dot within the NicNames registration flow, which guides you through providing the file and your details. The trademark-priority step for wik.dot happens in that same flow rather than a separate portal. Begin and upload your SMD at https://domain.pay/register.
As a regional bank, what happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY?
Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.
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.
