NASCAM Categories of membership

As the champion of music rights in Namibia, NASCAM has a duty to ensure the quality of our music and to protect the rights of our members. So we don’t automatically approve every music creator who applies for membership.

As a Music Creator, you need to meet a few requirements before we will approve your membership. You need to complete a few forms and supply us with a few documents.

To keep everything above board, NASCAM checks out every Music Creator. We verify that your music is active – meaning that it has been recorded commercially, performed in public or broadcast on radio and TV. We make sure your music is your own and doesn't infringe on the rights of other musicians. If you’re a music publisher, we check to see that your partner musicians are accredited members of NASCAM or our international affiliate societies.

Here are the levels of NASCAM membership categories that you may fall into, depending on your case.

(A) Prospective Membership
(B) Applicant Membership
(C) Nominee Interim Membership
(D) Elected Ordinary Membership
(E) Full Membership
