UMW Identity is the secure identity and fraud protection layer used by UMW Recordings Inc. to help protect artists, labels, rights holders, royalty payouts, catalog ownership, and digital music distribution.Before sensitive actions are approved, UMW Core may require identity, business, payment, or rights verification. This may apply to release approvals, DSP delivery, royalty payouts, catalog migrations, payment method changes, white-label access, API access, administrator access, or other high-risk activity.
Verification may include ID document checks, selfie/liveness review, facial match, business verification, payment method review, rights documentation, device/IP risk signals, and manual compliance review when needed. When verification is required, UMW Core can restrict or block the action until the user, payee, company, administrator, or rights holder has been approved. This helps UMW reduce fraud, protect legitimate catalogs, prevent payout abuse, and maintain trust with artists, labels, partners, and DSPs.

Quick answers about distribution, plans, royalties, and how UMW works.
What does “keep 100% of your royalties” mean?While an eligible standard distribution plan remains active, UMW applies no percentage commission to ordinary sound recording distribution royalties. This does not eliminate deductions or adjustments made by DSPs, taxes, withholding, currency conversion, payment-processing fees or separately contracted services.
No. Catalog Preservation does not transfer ownership of your master recordings or compositions to UMW. You must continue to own or control the necessary rights, and UMW retains only the limited authorization required to administer and deliver eligible recordings under the accepted agreement.
What happens to my music if I cancel?Cancellation stops future plan renewals and ends new uploads, release changes and active-plan features. If your Plan Order includes Catalog Preservation, eligible recordings previously delivered by UMW may remain available under a 90% rights holder / 10% UMW continuity split. You may also request a takedown or an authorized catalog migration.
No. Publishing administration is a separate service covering composition-related rights and collections. When contracted through UMW Song Assets, the applicable publishing revenue share is 90% to the client and 10% to UMW, subject to the Publishing Order.
