"For certifying a copy of an application for registration of copyright, and for all other certifications, $3." (17 U.S.C. §215)

Handling of fees for photoduplication and certification.
I.
When writing about the fees for certified photocopies, separate remittances should be requested.
a.
If the total fee is included in a single remittance made payable to the Register of Copyrights, it is possible to have the photoduplication fee transferred to the Photoduplication Service.
b.
It is possible but preferable not to transfer funds from a Copyright Office deposit account to the Photoduplication Service. Before writing for a photoduplication fee, however, the Office should determine whether the applicant also maintains a deposit account in the Photoduplication Service.
