Sister societies

Artists and successors that register with RRA belong to a global community that can benefit from resale royalties around the world.

RRA is now partnering with sister agencies overseas to determine artist eligibility for overseas resale royalties, and to ensure collection and payment of any overseas royalties due to New Zealand artists and successors. 

This means artists and successors may be eligible to receive a resale royalty from countries that operate a similar scheme, currently The United Kingdom and Australia.

Artists and successors that reside or domicile in Aotearoa – New Zealand will be included in our service to manage overseas royalties in accordance with our Distribution Policy

Some overseas schemes will only pay royalties to artists/successors who are already registered with RRA. Start the registration process by completing the Registration Form here: Register
