I just Copyrighted my screenplay, and I was wondering what's my Copyright number? I received an automated e-mail which had a "service request number" which was 1-xxxxxxx and so forth... is THAT my Copyright number??

I believe it takes approximately 10 days and maybe longer but you should get another email from the copyright office.

That's your processing number. It's tied to the order not the individual screenplay. You can copyright up to 10 scripts at one time and they will all be tied to that number. You need to wait until the actual copyright has been confirmed. This can take a while. When I did 8 screenplays at one time, it took like 4 or 5 months before I got the official notice of successful copyright.

It takes a while to receive the copyright in the mail. My most recent copyright application took four months. This is the government you're dealing with. Nothing happens fast.
