How do novels and works generally apply for copyright registration?

You can go to the copyright bureaus of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government for copyright registration. When an author or other copyright owner applies for the registration of a work, he shall show his identity certificate and provide proof indicating the ownership of the work (such as copies of the cover and copyright page, copies of some manuscripts, photos and samples, etc.). ), fill in the work registration form and pay the registration fee. Other copyright owners who apply for the registration of their works shall also produce certificates indicating the identity of the copyright owner (for example, the heir shall produce the identity certificate of the heir; The client of commissioned works shall present the entrustment contract). The owner of the exclusive right shall produce the contract to prove that he enjoys the exclusive right. After the works are verified by the Works Registry, the Works Registry will issue a certificate of registration.
