Official U.S. Copyright Office Forms

Home · Records · Registration · Law · Comments· Library of Congress

The Copyright Office application forms are available in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format. You must have the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view and print the forms. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is available for free from Adobe Systems Incorporated.

Important Printing Instructions: The forms should be printed head to head (top of page 2 is directly behind the top of page 1) using BOTH SIDES of a single sheet of paper. NOTE: Short forms are one sided. Dot matrix printer copies of the forms are not acceptable. Inkjet printer copies of the forms require enlarging if you use the Shrink to Fit Page option. To achieve the best quality copies of the application forms, it is recommended that you use a Laser Printer. 

The forms submitted to the Copyright Office must be clear, legible, and on a good grade of 8.5-inch by 11-inch white paper. The quality of the copyright application forms submitted for registration directly affects the quality of the copyright registration certificate you receive. The Copyright Office produces completed registration certificates through an optical scanning system that utilizes an image scanned from the original application submitted. As a result copyright applications submitted that are of poor print quality will negatively affect the print quality of the copyright registration certificate you receive. For these reasons, the utmost effort should be made to submit the best quality application form possible.

Printing Problems: Read Printing Solutions for PDF forms.

Fill-in Forms: Copyright Office fill-in forms allow you to enter information while the form is displayed by an Adobe Acrobat Reader product and then print the completed form out. Fill-in forms give you a cleaner sharper printout for your records and for filing with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Please review the Fill-in Forms Instructions for software requirements and detailed instructions on the usage.

The forms below may also be downloaded from our FTP site.

Send us your comments on the fill-in forms. Please include the subject keyword "fill-in" with your comments.

NOTE: Filing fees are effective through June 30, 2002. After that date, please check this website or call (202) 707-3000 for the latest fee information.
