Step 1: The copyright registration application has to be submitted in the concerned forms with the Copyright Registrar, listing the details of the work.

Separate copyright applications may be needed depending on the type of work.

Based on your copyright work, our representatives will ask for some specific information. You must also give us three copies of your work, as well as a few signed documents, including an authorization letter, which we will send to you via email. If the work has not yet been completed, two copies of the manuscript will be submitted, one of which will be returned to the applicant with a seal and the other will be kept secret by the Copyright Office. Applicants may also submit only excerpts from the manuscript rather than the entire unpublished edition.

Step 2: The claimant must sign the documents and the application must be submitted by the Advocate in whose name the Power of Attorney was executed.

The copyright registration application will then be prepared by our experts, and the correct forms will be electronically sent to the Registrar of Copyrights.
