What the registration covers

Normally, each song, book, recording, etc., is considered a separate work and requires a separate application and fee. However, if you are registering an album of up to a fourteen tracks, you may register the album as one work.

Copyright registration becomes effective on the date this Copyright Office receives all the required components in an acceptable form as outlined, regardless of how long it then takes to process the application and mail the certificate of registration. The time our Copyright Office requires to process an application varies, depending on the amount of material the copyright department is receiving.

We reserve the right to refuse to accept any work/compositions we consider to be in direct breach of any known or existing copyright.
