Most of these documents are found on the Copyright Office's own web site, but are re-indexed here for ease of use. You may wish to check the Copyright Offices's own index for any new additions to these forms. Most of these forms are in PDF format, so you will need a copy of Adobe's free Acrobat reader to review and print the forms.
Short forms are one sided.
Dot matrix printer copies of the forms are not acceptable. Ink jet 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 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.
