.PAY domain
Checking availability…
During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.
A TMCH SMD (Signed Mark Data) file is a digital certificate the Trademark Clearinghouse issues after it validates your trademark. To claim bbroot.pay under trademark priority you upload this SMD at registration so NicNames can verify your mark cryptographically. Without a valid SMD the priority window for bbroot.pay cannot be opened. Start at https://domain.pay/register.
Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.
You renew your TMCH record through the Trademark Clearinghouse before it lapses; an active record is what keeps your SMD valid for claiming bbroot.pay. If the record expires, the SMD stops working and your priority on bbroot.pay cannot be honoured. Keep it current, then register at 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.
