CCLI relies on your reporting to distribute the royalty payments fairly and accurately to the songwriters and publishers that your licenses permit you to legally copy or reproduce.

You should report on a regular basis, ideally weekly, or whenever you have reproduced songs in services, made copies, or emailed/shared MP3 to practice.

Getting started

If you’re new to reporting, the guides below will walk you through the process. If you get stuck, we’re here to help you at (800) 234-2446.

Setting Up Your Account
To report, you’ll need a CCLI Profile account.
1. Visit reporting.ccli.com
  
  Click Create a CCLI Profile and complete your details. If you’re a SongSelect user, you’ll already have an account, and you can sign in with your existing username and password.
2. Join your Church/Organization
  
  To link your account to your organization you’ll need an Access Code. Your organization’s CCLI Administrator may have this, or may be able to invite you to join the organization. Contact CCLI if you get stuck.
3. Add other users
  
  Click PROFILE from the USER menu to manage your account. If you’re the first person to be linked to your church/organization, you’ll automatically become its Account Administrator. This means you can add other Users who will then be able to sign in and report. You can also assign others to be Administrators.
Your CCLI Profile is a single place to manage your CCLI account.

Here you can access all your CCLI applications, check and renew licenses/services and manage users.

You’ll also find a range of Benefits – special offers and discounts exclusive to CCLI customers.
Report for the CCLI Copyright License
Report under your Copyright License each time you reproduce (project, type out, copy & paste) the words of a song to assist congregational singing.

On the Search & Report (Home) page, search for the first song you wish to report.
1. Select the correct song
  
  Often your search will return multiple results, with the closest matches at the top. Choose the correct song from the list by clicking the REPORT button next to that song. If you’re not sure you’ve got the right song, click the i symbol for more details
  
  Having clicked on a song, you’ll now see four reporting categories.
2. Report how you’ve used the song
  
  In the appropriate categories, enter the number of occasions when you have reproduced the song by that method since your last report. See examples.
  
  Reporting examples
  
  ▶ If you have projected the song in a service, enter ‘1’ in the Digital box. If you have projected that same song on three separate services/locations since your last report, enter ‘3’ in the Digital box
  
  ▶ If you streamed or posted a recording of that service online, you should also report this under Record/Stream.
  
  ▶ If you have printed multiple song sheets that include this song, enter ‘1’ in the Print box for each batch of song sheets you have printed. (You only need to report this each time you print a new batch of song sheets.)
  
  ▶ If you have translated the song into another language, report this under Translate.
3. Save and continue
  
  Click SAVE to finish reporting that song.
  
  Then simply repeat this process for all songs you need to report under your Copyright License.
Tip: If you’ve already reported a song in the current reporting period, you can also find that song in your Recent Reported list and report it by clicking the REPORT button next to the song title.
