There are multiple ways to learn about group registration of works published on the same album. In addition to this FAQ, the Office offers an introductory circular, video tutorials, and a recording of our webinar.

No. If you want to use the group registration options for musical works or sound recordings that were published on the same album, you must submit your claim through the online registration system using one of the options described in these FAQs. DO NOT use a paper application, such as Form PA or Form SR.

You may register two or more sound recordings and any photographs, artwork, or liner notes that were first published on the same album. To do so, the works must have been created by the same author or there must be a common joint author for all of the works being registered.

If the publishers want to be named as the copyright claimant, the applicant must submit a separate application, deposit, and fee for each work and must submit the claim with the Standard Application (NOT the group registration application).

A third party may be named as the copyright claimant in a group registration application if that party owns all of the exclusive rights initially belonging to an author of all of the works being registered.

Note: There is a limited exception to this rule. A musical work or sound recording that was previously published as an individual work (such as a single) before it was published on the album may be included in the claim if certain requirements are met.

All of the photographs, artwork, and liner notes must be first published on the same album and on the same date. DO NOT include any photographs, artwork, or liner notes works that were previously published before they were released on the album.

Yes. The file name for each musical work or each sound recording that you upload must match the corresponding title listed in the application. The file name should also include the track number that was assigned to each work when it was published on the album.

Note: If you are registering sound recordings that were published in a physical format (such as a compact disc or vinyl record), you must submit physical copies of the album instead of uploading digital files. Read more.

If you are registering sound recordings, and if the album was first published in a physical format outside the United States (but was not published in the United States), then you must send one physical copy of the album as published in the foreign country, including any printed or visually perceptible material that was distributed with the album (such as photographs, artwork, or liner notes appearing on the album cover). If the album was first published in a foreign country and later published in the United States, you may send one copy of the album that was first published in the foreign country or one copy of the best edition that was published in the United States.

When you complete the application you must provide the title and track number for each musical work or each sound recording that you want to register.

The file name should also include the track number that was assigned to each work when it was published on the album.
