Wow! So if my work was US domiciled I would already be into copyright fees approaching $10,000. Almost the same level of protection in the UK costs nothing. If you want a dated guarantee of the works origin you send a registered letter of it to yourself (about $2 a time).
And so long as you never open it it is proof. Er... It would be opened in a court hearing the issue of course!
