How do I register my copyright?
To register a work, submit a completed application form, a nonrefundable filing fee of $45, and a nonreturnable copy or copies of the work to be registered. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section
It isn't necessary to take any action for a completed artwork to be protected. Copyright protection is automatic, as soon as work of sufficient originality is "fixed in a tangible medium, perceptible to human eye, machine reader or other device".
If you want the additional protection a formally registered copyright can afford, contact the copyright office in your country for the proper procedure and attendant fee structure.
In the USA and over 160 other countries, your own "creative work of authorship" is automatically copyrighted from the moment you put your creation into any "tangible form", such as pencil on paper, paint on canvas, bits in computer memory, photograph on film, sculpture of stone, etc.
Other than that, you don't have to do ANYTHING to obtain copyright protection for your own work. You may optionally place copyright notice on your works to remind people of your ownership and (in a few countries) you may actually file for a registration of your ownership, if you think you may need "official proof" of your claim.
Under US law, you will need a copyright registration certificate before you can file a case for copyright infringement in the US district courts, but not until then.
