Dear client, You're right, this situation requires clarification for the copyright office. While you are both the author (under your pen name) and the copyright holder (your real name), the discrepancy might be causing a hurdle. Here's how you can address this:

1. Contact the Copyright Office:

Explain the situation to the copyright office. Mention that you are the author and copyright holder, but you used a pen name for authorship while your real name is on the application.Inquire about the possibility of submitting a sworn statement or affidavit instead of a No Objection Certificate (NOC). This statement would clarify that you are both the author (pen name) and the copyright holder (real name).

2. Sworn Statement/Affidavit:

If the copyright office allows a sworn statement, you can draft one yourself or consult a lawyer for a more formal document.The statement should clearly mention:Your real name and pen name.That you created the copyrighted work under the pen name.You are the sole owner of the copyright registered under your real name.

You can submit an affidavit that both are one and same person that you had written novel in your pen name but applied for copyright in your real name 

Since it is a procedure to be complied with,  you may attach an affidavit duly notarized stating the fact and explain that since it is your own work which can be established through the relevant documents attached to your affidavit. you can request the authorities to waive this requirement.
