How long does it take for my works to be registered with my PRO and the other collection societies?

*A note regarding CD Baby Pro Publishing

We see an average time of around 6 months to register works with your Performance Rights Organization (PRO) and the other collection societies around the world. You can see which collecting societies we register your works with here.

If your songs are being streamed, downloaded, or used in other ways that generate publishing royalties, then the status and timeline of your works registrations should not affect our ability to collect publishing royalties that are generated in the interim.

*The CD Baby Pro Publishing service was discontinued as of August 8th, 2023. Any paid release which was signed up for CD Baby Pro Publishing prior to August 8th, 2023 is considered a legacy Pro release and will continue to receive Pro Publishing services. CD Baby now offers a new expanded suite of revenue amplifiers called “CDB Boost” instead.
