Applying For Copyright Registration

Your application is only considered complete when all the information required is received and the correct fee is paid in accordance with Songrite's terms

Submitted works are kept in the order received; client work files are created and assigned numbers whereupon they are forwarded to the copyright registration dept. Your work is then assigned a registration number. Each client is allocated their own individual folder and all works by that client are collectively held in that folder. All the information provided by the applicant is then added to our database; finally an English Copyright certificate is then issued and mailed to the client.
