It generally costs money to register a copyright for a screenplay with the United States Copyright Office. The current fee for online registration of a single work is $55 for basic registration. This fee may vary depending on the type of work being registered and the method of registration. You can find more information about copyright registration fees on the Copyright Office's website. It's important to note that copyright protection exists automatically as soon as a work is created and fixed in a tangible form, so you don't need to register a copyright in order to have legal protection for your screenplay. However, registering your copyright can provide certain legal benefits, such as the ability to file a lawsuit for copyright infringement.
