If you have applied for copyright registration online or offline, you can check the status of your application using the Diary Number or the ROC Number that was issued to you by the Copyright Office. The Diary Number is a unique identifier that is assigned to each application when it is submitted online or offline. The ROC Number is a registration number that is generated after the application has passed the formality check and has been accepted for registration.
To check the status of your application online, you can visit the website of the Copyright Office (https://copyright.gov.in/) and click on “Status of the Application” under the Online Services section on the left side of the page. You will be directed to a page where you can enter your Diary Number or your ROC Number and click on “Submit” to view the status of your application. Alternatively, you can also search by the name of the applicant or the title of the work.
The status of your application will indicate whether your application is in work awaited, waiting, documents not received, formality check failed, registered or objected. You can also view the details of your application, such as the class of work, the title of work, the name of the applicant and the date of application. If your application is objected, you will also see the reason for the objection and the hearing notice and orders.
You can also check the status of your application offline by visiting or contacting the Copyright Office at Boudhik Sampada Bhawan, Plot No. 32, Sector 14, Dwarka, New Delhi-110078. You will need to provide your Diary Number or your ROC Number to check the status of your application offline.
