What is an IPI number, and how do you get one?
An IPI number identifies you as a songwriter worldwide. Here is how to get yours.
Part 1
What it is
An IPI (Interested Parties Information) number is a unique ID for songwriters and publishers. It ties your songs to you so performance royalties can find you.
Part 2
How to get one
You get an IPI when you join a performing rights organization (PRO) such as BMI or ASCAP in the US. You do not apply for it separately.
Part 3
Where you use it
- On split sheets.
- When you register songs with your PRO.
- When a publisher or distributor asks for your writer info.
