FAQ

Can lyrics-only or music-only be registered?

Yes — lyrics and music can be registered separately or together as one complete musical work; we advise based on your actual creation.

Does registration prove the song is mine?

The certificate is official prima facie proof of ownership — the most direct evidence for distribution licensing and platform complaints.

How long until I get the certificate?

After complete materials are filed, official processing time is approx. 20 business days (from acceptance); we track throughout.

Can released songs still be registered?

Yes, published works can be registered too — just state the first-publication date truthfully.
