No, but they can’t be sent for material that isn’t eligible for copyright protection at all. Also, if a copyright registration is cited in the takedown notice, then the claim has to fit the registration. Just a reminder what the court said in this case: “ID Tech misrepresented to Shopify and to this court (both in the ID Tech II complaint and at the TRO hearing) that the web pages it had caused to be taken down infringed on ID Tech’s copyrights”

I’m very puzzled by this. Infringement, yes, DMCA, no. I have filed very legitimate notices without any registration at all.
