Registration of copyright—filing online
Access the copyright e-filing application to register your copyright.
Why register your copyright?
Poems, paintings, plays, stories, songs, software—all are creative works worth protecting.
Generally, your original work is automatically protected by copyright when you create it. However, when you register your copyright, you get a certificate of registration that you can use in court as evidence that you own the protected work.
Fees
The fee for filing online can be found under items 1(a)(i) and 1(b)(i) of the fees page.
How to pay your fees
You may pay using a credit card or by deposit account.
