Public Record

Personally identifying information, such as your address, telephone number and email address, that are submitted on the registration application become part of the public record. Some information will be viewable in the Copyright Office’s on-line databases that are available through the Internet. For this reason, you should provide only the information requested. Please do NOT provide any additional personal information that is not requested like your social security number or your driver’s license.

Copyright Office application FORM CO is available in PDF format and should be viewed with the latest, free Adobe Acrobat Reader program.

Form CO replaces Forms TX, VA, PA, SE, and SR. The Form CO can not be used for group registrations. Using 2-D barcode scanning technology, the Office can process these forms much faster and more efficiently than paper forms completed manually. Simply complete Form CO on your personal computer, print it out, and mail it along with a check or money order and your deposit. The fee for a basic registration on Form CO is $45.
