Sister societies that work internationally with RRA

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 overseas.

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 currently registered with RRA.

Already registered with RRA? Then you do not need to do anything further to register with the individual sister societies. If you haven’t registered with RRA, you can start the process by submitting your details here: Register
