After an online registration, the number of bytes received as well as the MD5 and SHA256 Digital Signatures of the electronic file will be reported. This information should be the same as the original file on your system. If you need assistance with computing an MD5 or SHA256 Signature on your home computer then please submit a support request from within your NRS-Online Control Panel.

Once an item has been registered, it may not be updated or changed. However, clients may request that items be destroyed. Retrieval of an item may occur so long as any delivery costs are borne by the client. If an item is retrieved then the item will no longer be considered registered. NRS-Online is not a storage service, so registered files are generally not accessible on a real-time or even near immediate basis.

The default limit is approximately 256 megabytes. However, this limit can be increased on a per-request basis. Note, any online registration must complete within sixty (60) seconds otherwise the request will fail. As such, the speed of the network connection may limit the size of uploads. If you need assistance with extremely large uploads then please send a Support Request from within the NRS-Online Control Panel.

NRS-Online is not a domain name registration service, so domain names cannot be registered through NRS-Online.

Items registered online are stored in Google Cloud. Physical items are currently stored in a storage facility in the State of Washington.

Yes. Items registered with NRS-Online are not viewed unless a client requests an authentication.

NRS-Online.com has been operating since 1999. Originally, it was a generally available service providing both electronic and hardcopy registration service. Now, it focuses on electronic registration but does handle physical registrations on an as-needed basis.

Copyrights are automatically created when a work is produced, so registration is not required. Registration is for protecting a copyright, not creating a copyright. Visit the US Copyright Office for additional information.

Federal registration is required for bringing a copyright infringement lawsuit against another party. Moreover, Federal registration, if it occurs within five years of initial publication of the work, is considered prima facie evidence of ownership of the copyright to the work.

NRS-Online is for registering a multitude of items that may or may not qualify for US Copyright registration. NRS-Online is suitable for registering final works as well as the entire trail of evidence (drafts, notes, receipts, etc.) leading up to the final work. This potentially gives the author additional evidence to support their claim to authorship of any work as opposed to just simple possession of the work.

No. As of late 2016, NRS-Online.com has been owned and operated by Keith Frederick, a co-founder of Drake Analytics, Inc. and a California-licensed attorney. Drake Analytics, Inc. was wound up in 2016 when one of its shareholders deanimated.

The NRS-Online.com can only provide authentication support and cannot provide legal counsel. Having a subcription to NRS-Online.com does not imply an attorney-client relationship with Keith Frederick.
