Registration Question

[Rich]

Hi,

Sorry for the newbie question,

I live in the UK so my Pro is PRS. If my publisher in the US registers my work with say BMI or ASCAP. Should these tracks show up when I search my name in my PRS account? Because they don’t, so not sure if this is normal?

I can find them by searching in BMI so they are registered there but wasn’t sure if they should show in PRS? So they know which work they are looking for?

Thanks.

I don’t believe they would but a PRS composer would know better (I’m in U.S.).

During the registration process, at the 3rd or 4th step there is tick box with :
USA licensing – BMI ASCAP etc…

I would register the tracks at PRS, and tick the BMI box, so that PRS knows it is registered there too.. It might facilitate any back end transfer…

In doubt, call them. By my experience, they are quite available and very helpful
