Frequently Asked Questions

  • What exactly do I get with Fortress?

    An official Copyright Certificate from the US Copyright Office that legally establishes you as the owner of your screenplay. It's the gold standard of creative protection—no substitutes. This is general information, not legal advice.

  • How fast does this happen?

    We prepare and submit your application within 24 hours of upload. The Copyright Office takes 3-6 months to process, but your protection begins immediately upon submission.

  • Can I register a work-in-progress screenplay?

    Absolutely. Register any version you want protected. Many writers register their final drafts before sharing widely, but earlier versions work too—you can always register updates later.

  • What makes Fortress different?

    We're built specifically for screenwriters. While others offer generic copyright services, we understand screenplay formatting, industry needs, and get your application done right the first time.

  • Do I need a lawyer?

    Not for registration. For contracts, licensing, or other entertainment law matters beyond registration, consult an entertainment attorney. This is general information, not legal advice.
