Copyright Registration Service – UK, EU & Worldwide Copyright Protection

Copyright Registration UK, EU and Worldwide

Proving copyright ownership can be difficult without evidence. Registering your work with The Script Vault provides a verified date and creator, protecting you against theft or plagiarism. Founded in 2002, The Script Vault has been helping writers protect their copyright for over 20 years.

We are the only UK copyright registration service approved by the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain.

Final Draft®, the industry standard and market leader in screenwriting software, also recommends The Script Vault. They link directly from their software to our site via their ‘Register Your Script’ tab.

Registration starts at £28 for 10 years copyright protection, with multi-item plans reducing costs to as little as £5.50 per item – or even less with an unlimited item subscription. You can also spread the cost over 3 months interest-free (for purchases over £20) using PayPal ‘Pay in 3’.
