How do I register a work of visual art or a photo?

As the author of a visual work of art (e.g. a sculpture, painting, etc.), you are not obliged to register your works. The author's signature on the work is considered to be sufficient proof of authorship.

Photographers can prove their authorship with the negatives of their works or by means of protected digital files.
