Are there special requirements for the Augsburg Fortress Liturgy and Song License?

If you obtain an Augsburg Fortress Liturgy and Song License, you will be required to keep a record of the material that you have used.

• When you first obtain your license, you will receive a reporting form to use in keeping a tally of the hymns, songs, and liturgies that you use. At the end of the first year of your license, you will receive a reminder that it is time to return this form to Augsburg Fortress.
• Thereafter, you will only need to record your usage during every third year. You will be assigned to a reporting group and you will automatically receive a new reporting form if it is time for you to record your usage.

Why is it necessary to keep a record of the material we've used?

Your usage records assure that we fairly allocate the license proceeds to the appropriate author or composer.
