Licences for Churches

Whether your church wants to show films, play and/or record music, photocopy from authorised publications or download song lyrics and music, CCLI can provide a simple, legal and affordable solution to your copyright needs.

	Reproducing Song Words If you use song projection software or OHPs, create your own song sheets or store song words on your computer then you may need a Church Copyright Licence (CCL).
	Photocopying If you photocopy from any books, magazines or publications in your church then you may need a Music Reproduction Licence (MRL) or a Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) Church Licence.
	Playing Music If you play music in your church (either live or from a physical format such as CD) then you may need a Performing Right Society (PRS) Church Licence.
	Showing Films  If you show films in church activities click here for information about the Church Video Licence (CVL) and Performing Right Society (PRS) Church Licence.
	Recording Music If you record music from your church services, wedding ceremonies or live concerts, then you may need a Church Copyright Licence (CCL), Wedding Video-Recording Licence (WVRL) or a Limited Manufacture Licence (LML).
	Downloading Song Lyrics and Music If you want instant access to CCLI's online song database, with great features such as transposing songs into the key of your choice, Music Player and 30-second sound samples, then you may need SongSelect.
