No, anyone can apply for a copyright, but the vast majority of copyright owners do not bother to "apply" for anything because copyright ownership is free, instantaneous and automatic upon putting your creative work of authorship into any tangible form. That is the law in over 160 countries under the Berne Convention. In most of those countries there is no possible way to "apply" for or register any copyright, but in about 50 countries you may register your copyright, which is not the same as "applying" for it, since you are just putting your existing ownership into the official records. Registration in the USA is only required if you are planning to sue someone in federal court for infringement.
