611.2 (B) Year of Completion Omitted
If the applicant fails to provide a year of completion in an online application, the application will not be accepted by the electronic registration system.
As a general rule, if the applicant fails to provide a year of completion in a paper application, the registration specialist may communicate with the applicant. If the year of completion is provided elsewhere in the registration materials, the specialist will add the missing information and provide an annotation, such as: “Regarding year of completion: Added by Copyright Office from cover letter.”
