As a member how do I register my works with IPRS?To register tracks with IPRS, you need to share the complete metadata in the desired Data Upload format. Please visit the IPRS website https://iprs.org/already-a-member/ to download the Work Notification Bulk Upload format.

Below are a few guidelines that will help you in filling your work data as per the requirement of the format.
The Upload Format File contains various sheets that contain information you will require to fill in relation to your work.
- Language of work: Options for applicable languages
- Sub Category: Options for work grouping
- Versions of the work: Whether Original or Modified
- Member Details: list of IPRS members with their IPI numbers.
- Name Type in Members Details –
