Recordation of documents: corrections or amplifications of completed registrations. (cont'd) sender insists on the recordation of a docu­ment, an affidavit or signed statement out­lining the error or amplification may be recorded in the Copyright Office. In some instances, recordation of a document supporting the basis for registration of a claim to renewal copyright is required before regis­tration can be made.

Example: Where a renewal claim is submitted by an author whose name neither appears in the records of the original registration nor in a supplementary registration which has been cross-referenced to the original regis­tration and the omission cannot be satis­factorily explained, registration of a renewal claim in that author's name will generally be made only if a document supporting the claim of authorship is recorded.
