Submitting your work by mail:
All applications for copyright registration must contain all of the following information:(accompanied by the correct fee)
- The name and a complete address of the owner of the copyright: some authors prefer to use pen names, rather than their real names, on their published works. You may include your pen name on your application for registration, but you must also give your full legal name. This is necessary because, without your legal name, it would be difficult to determine the full duration of the copyright, i.e., your lifetime plus 50 years.
- A declaration that the applicant is one of the following: the author of the work; the owner of the copyright in the work; an assignee of the copyright; or a person to whom an interest in the copyright has been granted by licence.
- The category of the work: you will need to indicate which category or categories best describe your work, e.g., Music/song, lyrics, poetry, literary,
- The title of the work.
- The name of the author/s.
