How to Register your Copyright


​Registering a copyright is easy in the USA. 

Here's how it's done: Create your publication. Compose a song. Write a play. Paint a picture. Pen a poem. Express your creativity.

REGISTER YOUR COPYRIGHT:
Complete an application
https://www.copyright.gov/forms/

Include the correct fee
https://www.copyright.gov/docs/fees.html

Include nonreturnable copies (usually, one for unpublished and two for published)

SEND THE PACKAGE TO:
    Library of Congress
    Copyright Office
    101 Independence Avenue, SE.
    Washington, D.C. 20559 6000

The Copyright Office receives your package, and your registration becomes effective on that day. We receive about 2,400 submissions each business day. Their financial department processes your payment. They examine your application and deposit and make sure they're acceptable and meet the requirements of Copyright law and regulations. Your registration is assigned a number and a certificate of registration is issued. You'll receive that certificate in the mail about 4 months after you submit your package.
    
Catalogers create an online, searchable public record of your registration.
