Bear in mind that it isn't necessary to take any action to obtain a copyright. 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 that a formally registered copyright will provide, contact the copyright office in your country for the proper procedure and fee amounts.
