IPI Number. The IPI number is the Interested Party Identifier. This number serves to identify all rights holders such as authors, composers and publishers within the music industry. Each number is assigned and tracked in a global system operated by SUISA. Note that IPI numbers are specific to an individual or organization’s role, representing either a Writer or Publisher type of entity. Although a Publisher IPI number is not required to register works with CMRRA for distributions on Canadian activity, we strongly prefer that this information be provided when available, in order for us to more quickly and efficiently identify and rationalize ownership on musical works, particularly where more than one writer or publisher is involved. For self-published songwriters, you may have already been assigned an IPI as a Writer. NOTE THAT A PUBLISHER IPI IS MANDATORY FOR CMRRA TO COLLECT ROYALTIES FROM TERRITORIES OUTSIDE OF CANADA. IF YOU ARE AFFILIATING FOR INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL COLLECTIONS, WE WILL REQUIRE A PUBLISHER IPI IN ORDER TO PROPERLY REGISTER YOUR WORKS WITH OTHER SOCIETIES AND AGENCIES. If you do not already have a publisher IPI number, CMRRA will facilitate obtaining this number from SUISA free of charge on your behalf. Please let us know if you need us to coordinate this for you.
