Unlike government-issued copyright registrations, a private copyright is administered and documented through a private trust or faith-based association. Our organization is a 508(c)(1)(a) unincorporated faith-based association, operates independently of state or federal corporate systems. We are not a government agency nor a corporate entity, instead, we function as a private record-keeping body that recognizes, documents, and issues authorship and copyright certificates based on the long-standing lawful and equitable principle of ‘first in time, first in right’.

Even though we are a religious faith-based organization, our website provides certificates that serve as evidence of original authorship and creation. Under both the Berne Convention Treaty and international copyright law, your creative work is protected the moment it is created, writing, designing, filming, or documenting establishes your copyright automatically. Our certificates serve as independent proof of that authorship, timestamped, QR coded and securely recorded in our online registry.

For maximum legal strength, we recommend printing your Certificate of Copyright or Recorded Document Certificate and having the face of the document notarized. A notary public is a public officer under common law, acting as a deputy of the Secretary of State, and their acknowledgment provides an additional layer of authenticity and public verification. When paired with your private copyright certificate, this combination serves as compelling proof of authorship and first use, offering you powerful protection in any legal dispute.

By choosing our copyright registry, you retain complete control over your intellectual property. You are not submitting your work into a government-administered system but rather registering it through our 508 (c)(1)(a) unincorporated association.
