How to Copy or Modify a Registered Work in the Member Portal

Before You Start

• Log in to the SOCAN Member Portal
• The work must already be registered
• If you are reducing a contributor’s share, you must include their consent for the change to be approved.
• Requests submitted without consent will be rejected.

Approved registrations cannot be edited directly. Changes require a draft update

You Can Update the Following Details

Many updates can be completed directly in the portal, including:

• Title or Alternative Titles
• Contributor Shares
• Artist Name
• Performers
• Publisher Information
• Attachments
• Additional Work Details

Performers can be added or updated within the draft version of the work.

These updates do not require submitting a case.
