    Over the past several months, I’ve been creating and uploading some PD songs to my main music libraries. BMI seems to be taking forever to finalize these registrations. My new original registrations only take a couple of days. Does anyone know how long it takes for BMI to confirm PD registrations? Thanks!

    @newsound PD arrangements require extra verification, such as confirming that the underlying composition is indeed public domain and that your arrangement is original. BMI may need to review metadata, split sheets, or ensure no conflict with existing registrations — this typically triggers the longer wait time, at least 7 days.
