How do I become a PPL member?

You can register online for performer and recording rightsholder memberships with PPL. It is free to do so.

Click here to start the registration process, which you can complete online. The process guides you through what you need to do to help make registration as quick and simple as possible.

The registration process starts with a few simple queries to help us identify which type(s) of membership you need. For example, if you are a performer who also owns the rights to recordings on which you’ve performed, you will need to register with PPL as both a performer and a recording rightsholder, in order to maximise your PPL royalties. In most cases, you can do this by completing one combined registration.

You can also use the online registration process if you wish to register as a rightsholder in respect of music videos.

If you already have a performer or recording rightsholder account with PPL and wish to add another account, you can do this by clicking on “Accounts” from the myPPL homepage, then selecting “Registrations” followed by “Add Another Registration”.

Once you are an approved PPL member you can use your myPPL account to view payment statements, register repertoire and products, make claims, access and manage account information (such as updating contact and bank details) and search the PPL Repertoire Database.

You can also contact our Member Services team through your myPPL account by raising a query.

If you are under the age of 18 you cannot complete the full registration process online and will be prompted to download a registration form to complete offline. This will need to be counter-signed by a parent or guardian.

If you are the beneficiary of a deceased performer, you can find more information here or contact Member Services on +44 (0)20 8068 1054 – we can advise you on the steps you need to take with regards to PPL performer registrations.
