Own the work.
Own the remedies.
Federal copyright registration without the eCO portal. We file with the US Copyright Office on your behalf — and store every certificate in the same dashboard you use to enforce them.
Why register
A takedown is a slap. Registration is a hammer.
DMCA takedowns remove the content. Registration is what lets you actually sue for damages — and the difference in leverage is enormous.
Without a timely registration, your maximum recovery in a US infringement suit is your actual lost profit, which is hard to prove and usually small. With a registration filed before the infringement (or within three months of first publication), you can elect statutory damages — up to $150,000 per work, plus attorney's fees — without proving anything beyond ownership.
For working creators, that's the difference between a polite cease-and-desist and a settlement that pays for the next year of work.
How we help
From upload to certificate.
Eligibility analysis
We review each piece you want to register, sort it into the right category (visual art, audiovisual, sound recording, literary), and flag work that's already covered or needs special handling.
Application prep
Our team prepares the Copyright Office filing — title, claimant, year of creation, deposit copies, and authorship details — using your inputs and our category templates.
Submission and tracking
We file directly with the US Copyright Office, pay the government fee on your behalf, and track the application through examination — typically 3 to 6 months.
Certificate delivery
Once approved, your registration certificate lands in your archive. Searchable, downloadable, and ready to attach to any future enforcement action.

FAQ
Common questions.
Why register at all? Isn't my work automatically copyrighted?+
Yes — copyright exists from the moment you create the work. Registration unlocks the legal remedies that actually matter: statutory damages up to $150,000 per infringement, attorney's fees, and the ability to file an infringement suit in US federal court. Without registration, you can still send DMCA notices, but you can't sue for the kind of money that makes lawsuits worth filing.
How much does it cost?+
Filings start at $59 per work, which covers our preparation and submission. The US Copyright Office charges its own government fee on top — $45 for a single work, $65 for a group of unpublished works. Bulk and group filings bring the per-work cost down significantly.
How long does the Copyright Office take?+
Electronic filings currently take 3 to 6 months on average. Special handling (expedited examination) is available for an additional government fee when you have a pending or anticipated lawsuit — we'll guide you to it when it makes sense.
Can I register work I've already published?+
Yes. You can register published or unpublished work at any time. There's an advantage to registering within three months of publication — it preserves your right to statutory damages for infringements that happened before registration. After three months, you can still register, but pre-registration infringements only get actual damages.
What about photo collections or a whole catalog?+
Group registration is built for exactly this. You can file up to 750 unpublished works as a single group, or up to 750 photographs published in the same calendar year as a single group. We file these regularly for working photographers, designers, and music producers.
Register it once. Enforce it forever.
Filings start at $59 per work. The remedies they unlock can be worth orders of magnitude more.
