2.1: Online Registration
Initiate online registration services for the public. Other Information:
The public is now able to conduct a growing amount of its business electronically. Many expect and demand easy-to-use online
capabilities. Registration is the single largest Copyright Office business process, to which over 60 percent of the Office’s
staff and 50 percent of its budget are dedicated. With online registration, registrants will have an easier, less paper-intensive
procedure, saving them time, and providing for online updates on the status of their registration claims. The Office has experience
with electronic registration through its Copyright Office Electronic Registration and Deposit System (CORDS). Using a limited
number of partners, this system currently registers approximately 20,000 works a year. The means to accomplish this objective
include implementing a new IT systems infrastructure, now in development, in FY 2006.
