Don't Just Register Your Work. Create the Proof.
Create a permanent, independently verifiable record of your creative work.
APR documents your work with a cryptographic fingerprint, trusted timestamps, and independent verification — creating evidence you can use to help show what you created, when it existed, and whether the file has changed.
Starting at $10 per registration · No subscription required · No expiration
Important: APR is an independent evidence and registration service. It does not replace registration with the U.S. Copyright Office.
A record built on cryptography, not just a database entry
Your registration is tied to the exact digital fingerprint of your work.
Verification can go beyond simply trusting an APR database entry.
Your registered work remains protected while verification information can be shared.
Generate certificates and verification records that document the history and integrity of your work.
Your Work Becomes a Verifiable Digital Record.
When you register a work with APR, the system creates a cryptographic record tied to the exact digital file you submitted.
- 01Upload
Upload your screenplay, manuscript, song, photograph, artwork, video, design, software, or other original work.
- 02Fingerprint
APR creates a unique SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint representing the exact file you registered.
- 03Timestamp
The cryptographic record is independently timestamped, creating evidence that the record existed at a specific point in time.
- 04Verify
Your registration can later be verified using the APR verification system and supporting cryptographic evidence.
- 05Share
Use your certificate, verification URL, QR code, or APR badge when sharing your work.
Built on Independent Cryptographic Verification
APR has partnered with CertNode to strengthen the technology behind the verification of registered works.
Your work is not simply stored in a database and given a date. APR creates a cryptographic record tied to the exact digital file you registered. That record can be independently verified to determine whether the registered content matches the original record.
APR creates a SHA-256 fingerprint of your registered file. Even a single change to the file produces a different fingerprint.
The cryptographic record can be independently timestamped using RFC 3161 trusted timestamping technology, creating third-party evidence of when the record existed.
Your registration can be verified later using cryptographic evidence rather than relying solely on a database entry.
APR provides the creator-focused registration and verification experience. CertNode provides cryptographic proof infrastructure supporting independently verifiable digital records.
Before You Share It, Create the Record.
The moment you send your work to someone else, you may lose control over where it goes.
Before that happens, APR gives you a way to establish a verifiable record of the work you created.
Create your record before sending your work to someone else.
Use your certificate, verification URL, QR code, or APR badge when sharing your work.
If questions arise, the original file can be compared against its registered cryptographic fingerprint.
The goal isn't to prevent you from sharing your work. It's to make sure you have a record before you do.
What Your APR Record Can Help Establish
An APR registration creates a verifiable digital record associated with your registered work.
What APR Does Not Claim
- APR does not determine who legally owns a copyright.
- APR does not replace registration with the U.S. Copyright Office.
- APR does not determine the outcome of a copyright dispute.
- APR does not guarantee that a court, agency, publisher, producer, or other party will accept a particular record as evidence.
Instead, APR provides a structured, tamper-evident and independently verifiable record that can help document the history and existence of your work.
Document the facts. Preserve the record. Let the evidence speak for itself.
Verification That Goes Beyond a Certificate
A certificate shows that a registration exists. APR goes further.
Every registered work is associated with a unique cryptographic fingerprint that can be used to verify the integrity of the registered file.
If the cryptographic fingerprints match, the file corresponds to the registered digital record. If they do not match, the file is different.
If you created it, you can register it
Register any original material you want documented with a timestamp, content fingerprint, and certificate.
Manuscripts, novels, poetry, screenplays, articles, treatments.
Songs, lyrics, compositions, demos, recordings.
Scripts, storyboards, short films, animation, production materials.
Paintings, illustrations, digital art, concept art, designs.
Photographs, collections, digital photography.
Source code, applications, websites, digital products.
Plans, renderings, drawings, concepts.
Pitch decks, presentations, original materials.
