An application for supplementary registration must be certified by an author, a copyright claimant, or an owner of one or more of the exclusive rights in the work, or a duly authorized agent of one of the foregoing persons.

A handwritten signature should be provided on space F of the application under the heading "Handwritten Signature," and the first and last name of the person who signed the application should be typed or printed on the space marked "Typed or Printed Name and Date."
