We review submissions in the order received. You will receive an email when a certification decision has been made.

Once we officially launch the public beta, expect 14 business days from the start of review.

We analyze your master audio for timing integrity, run AI detection, and verify your attestation. We do not evaluate artistic quality. We verify production method.

The ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) is the standard identifier used to distinguish one sound recording from another. It is typically assigned through your distributor when a track is prepared for commercial release, and it exists independently of the CEP.

We use the ISRC to associate CEP certification with the exact released master. This allows the public registry to link certification to the correct recording across streaming and distribution systems.

If you do not have an ISRC yet, leave the field blank. It can be added once assigned.

A Certificate of Embodied Production with your unique CEP ID, a badge asset kit for use on releases, social media, and liner notes, a public registry at registry.musicalform.org verifiable by anyone, and a decision letter documenting the review.

You receive a decision letter explaining why. Denial is not a judgment on your music. It means the production process did not meet the published standard.

our master audio is uploaded securely via encrypted connection and stored on our review platform. After a certification decision is issued, the audio file is deleted within 14 days. We do not distribute, share, or use your recording for any purpose other than certification review. Artwork and metadata are retained for the public registry.

During the public beta, the first 100 artists can submit one song for free. Standard pricing is $49 per track.
