Script Registration


With over 10 000 scripts given additional protection, it's no surprise script registration is one of the most popular services we offer to writers at all career stages. The guilds' registration system was developed to assist our members in establishing the completion date and identity of their literary property.

We accept draft and final scripts as well as material which is not in full script form such as synopses, outlines, scenarios, treatments and bibles.

Once you have sent us your material it is assigned a unique number in our electronic registration tracking system, then archived in a document storage vault for ten years.

By printing this registration number on the front page of your script, you'll make it clear you've taken all the right steps to make sure your work remains protected.

Script registration through the AWG is only open to financial Guild members. Join here
