Do you mean, "do you register your works with the US Copyright Office?" (Where they have a backlog of 18 months or more for registrations?)

In an effort to stop a little misinformation, the moment you create the work you own the Copyright of it. One way of showing a date of copyright is to mail the work to yourself, however it hasn't been shown if that is a way of protecting your work in a court of law.
To legally enforce that Copyright it is a good idea to file it with your Countries Copyright office. At this time the US Office turn around time is 90 days.
Good luck,
