Copyright for a pen name?

[hardnox]

I'm starting a new series authored under a pen name. For those of you writing under a name other than your own, how do you attribute the copyright? As your real name? The pen name? Your publisher/press name?

You obtain the copyright in your own name and also identify the pen name as part of the application process.

But then your real name is public record, what if that's what you want to avoid?

Just went through the process with U.S. Copyright office and confirmed what Arches said. Registered under the pen name but my real name is also a matter of public record. I'm not striving for absolute secrecy, just need different names for different genres to avoid reader confusion. There's a field in the app for a corporate entity if you want that. Thanks for the help.

The only way someone will find your real name is if he researches the copyright files.
This is not something a person would normally do.
