There are very few countries (about 40 of them) that have any way to register a copyright because registration is generally not necessary.

Under US laws, copyright registration is completely optional until the author or successor to the copyright wants to sue in federal court for infringement.

US copyright registration is accomplished by filling out an application, attaching a fee and the required number of copies (one or two) of the work for which the ownership registration is desired and waiting a few months for the certificate (or rejection) to arrive. Many registrations can be done using online forms and submission tools found at the link below.
