How to Register Works/Songs with The MLC

As a Member of The MLC, there are three ways to register your works:

1. Register one work at a time directly in the Member Hub within The MLC Portal by selecting Works Registration from the side menu, then clicking Individual Work Registration from the drop-down options. For step-by-step instructions, click here.

2. Upload your registrations in bulk in the Member Hub using the Bulk Work Registration template. Information about how to download, prepare, and submit a Bulk Work Registration file is available in the Member Hub. You can also click here to view a tutorial video that will guide you through the process.

3. Send us a Common Works Registration (CWR) file. CWR is a globally recognized registration format overseen by CISAC and is a more efficient method if you have a large volume (hundreds or thousands) of works to register. For the user guide with technical setup instructions and CWR best practices, click here.

The MLC Portal is accessible on both desktop and mobile devices, so you can register your works anytime, anywhere. When you register musical works with The MLC, you will not need to submit any audio files.
