« Back to FAQs How do I make changes to a work that is already registered with BMI?

Please refer to Instructions for Updating Registered Works for complete instructions to update registered works.

In short, you can email update requests to reviseworks@bmi.com. In your email, be sure to include the title and work number, as well as a clear description of the revision that is being requested. Your request will be reviewed and, if supporting documentation is required before the update can be completed, we’ll email you back with further instructions.

Please note, this is the only way to update an existing work. If you try to register a new version of the same work it will be rejected automatically.
