Script Registration Service

The BECTU Script Registration Service enables members to register scripts with BECTU.

Its purpose is to provide members with proof that a script was in existence by a given date.

Members send their script to BECTU Head Office. The union logs the script, seals it and returns it to the member concerned for safekeeping.

The union does not archive such scripts or keep copies.

The word script in the context of the Script Registration Service covers a wide range of materials intended mainly for use in television, film and theatre.

This includes proposals, concepts, ideas, formats and outlines as long as they are written down in detail. It also includes finished scripts, sketches and storyboards.

The following downloads provide further information along with registration forms:
