Description
What This Service Does
I help you prepare complete, accurate registration forms for SABAM (composition rights) and PlayRight (performance rights) in Belgium. Instead of spending hours figuring out what information goes where, you answer simple questions and get ready-to-submit forms in 5 minutes.
What You Get (€15)
Personalized registration package including:
- Pre-filled SABAM membership and works registration forms
- Pre-filled PlayRight membership and recordings registration forms
- ISRC code generation assistance using your national registrant code
- Retroactive claims preparation (eligibility and payment depend on CMO rules)
- Step-by-step submission checklist
- Email support for questions during submission
What you still need to do:
- Submit the forms yourself to SABAM and PlayRight (we prepare, you submit)
- Wait for CMO approval and processing (typically 2-8 weeks)
- Follow up directly with the organizations if needed
Important Disclaimers
This is a form preparation service, not:
- Legal advice (consult a music lawyer for complex situations)
- Official CMO representation (we’re not affiliated with SABAM or PlayRight)
- Guaranteed payment (royalty collection depends on CMO rules, usage, and reporting)
Scope:
- Currently covers Belgium only (SABAM + PlayRight)
- EU expansion planned for 2026
- Works best for independent artists who own their masters and compositions
Limitations:
- We cannot submit forms on your behalf
- We cannot guarantee CMO acceptance
- Retroactive claims depend on CMO policies (some have time limits)
- ISRCs generated using your existing registrant code (we don’t provide registrant codes)
Why Use This Service?

What we don’t automate:

Final note: This service helps you navigate a complex system, but it’s not a substitute for professional legal or financial advice. Your rights, your music, your decision.
