Frequently asked questions about chirva.pay

As a regional bank, how should a regulated fintech think about .PAY and financial licensing?

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 do I renew chirva.pay after the initial registration?

After chirva.pay is registered, you renew chirva from your domain.pay account before its expiry, on the terms shown at checkout. Renewal pricing is separate from the $100 pre-order fee. See renewal terms for chirva.pay at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Do I need an SMD file to register .PAY during the priority window when choosing loans.pay?

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.

Does chirva.pay go through both sunrise and general availability?

The .PAY namespace runs both phases, and chirva.pay is registrable in sunrise (if you hold a trademark) or in general availability (if you do not). You only participate in the phase that applies to you. domain.pay routes chirva.pay accordingly at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

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.
