No registration yet — that's fine. When your track is approved, we'll assign it an official ISRC at no cost. That's your recording's permanent identity in the music industry. Collecting societies like PRS do important work — consider us the first step of that journey.
Make sure this specific track is registered, not just your membership. You can check at repsearch.ppluk.com. Collecting societies do important work — and accurate track registration is what makes them effective.
Not sure? If you haven't formally registered this specific recording with any organisation, select Not Registered.
Many artists join PRS for Music or another collecting society and reasonably assume their music is now registered and protected. But membership and registration are two separate things. Joining makes you a member. Registering each individual track is a separate step that has to be done manually for every recording you want royalties collected on. A track that has never been registered generates plays — on radio, in venues, on streaming platforms — but those plays generate royalties that can't reach you because there's no record of your ownership. If you're not sure whether your specific track is registered, you can check the PPL repertoire database at repsearch.ppluk.com. It's free and takes about thirty seconds. If it's not there, selecting Not Registered below is correct — and we'll assign your track an ISRC when approved, which is the first step toward making every future play count.
Already have an ISRC for this recording? Enter it here. If you don't have one, leave this blank — we'll assign one when your track is approved.
Please enter a valid ISRC (12 characters, e.g. GBGXC9K25001).
ISRC stands for International Standard Recording Code. It's a 12-character identifier assigned to a specific recording — not the song itself, but that particular version of it. Every commercially released recording in the world carries one. It's how royalties find their way back to the right artist when a track is played on radio, in a venue, on a streaming platform, or anywhere else that reports plays. Without one, those plays happen but the royalties can't reach you. If your track doesn't have an ISRC yet, leave this field blank. When we approve your track, we'll assign one under our registered prefix — at no cost to you, permanently yours, regardless of what happens with your music after that. If you later register the track with a collecting society, your ISRC travels with it — you'll need it for that registration process.
By submitting, you confirm the following. Read each point — they protect you as much as they protect us.
1. You own or control all rights to this music.
This means the recording is your own original work and you haven't signed any agreement that transfers the rights to someone else — such as a record label deal or a work-for-hire agreement. If you recorded it yourself and it's your original music, you almost certainly own the rights.
2. You have accurately declared the rights status of this recording using the selector above.
3. You grant Promoting Local a non-exclusive licence to play this track in public venues across the network for a period of 18 months.
Non-exclusive means you're not giving Promoting Local sole rights to your music. You can still release it on Spotify, submit it to other platforms, perform it live, and do anything else you want with it. We're simply asking permission to play it in our venue network for 18 months. If you register the track with a collecting society during this period, let us know and we'll update how the track is licensed accordingly.
4. If you register this recording with a collecting society during the licence period, you will notify Promoting Local. The track will be updated to reflect its new licensing requirements — it will continue to play at licensed venues within the network.
5. You may request removal of your track at any time by contacting us.
6. You retain full ownership of your music — Promoting Local does not claim any rights to your work.
7. Promoting Local may use your artist name, photo, and bio for promotional purposes within the network.
This means we may use your artist name, photo, and bio on the player screens, the Promoting Local website, social media posts about the platform, and in materials presented to venues and partners. We won't use your image in paid advertising or license it to third parties without asking you separately.
Once approved, your music plays in real venues and your track receives an official ISRC registration.
