Just when I think I’ve changed my address everywhere I need to, I think of yet another place I want to inform. I’ve been registering my art with the Library of Congress for 8 years from the same address… the house I just sold. I might not be the only artist that moves now and again so I thought I’d do a quick post to show you where to change your info.
If you move, change your phone number (yes – they sometimes call if there is a question with your registration!) or address, here is what you need to do:
- Login to www.Copyright.gov
- Click on the “My Profile” link in the upper right
- Look at “My Settings”
- click on User Profile to change your name, phone number, password or email address
- click on Address Book to change your mailing address
Not too difficult but don’t forget to add it to your “to-do” list if you move – you want people to know where to find you if an issue or request arises regarding your art!
Here’s to your creative success!

Great reminder! So many places to make note… for any change in life.
BTW, I’m always wondering how long the copyright process takes, when one should receive a certificate – it’s hard to see any kind of progress through the online system!
