What do I have to do as creator to receive my invitation digitally in my portal inbox?
If you already have online access:
As a creator, the invitation is sent digitally to your Online Portal inbox; we will inform you via the correspondence email that the invitation is ready for you.
If you do not yet have online access, please register here via the GEMA Online Portal
Creators have their own personal access to the GEMA Online Portal. You can then enter your own login email which is automatically used for correspondence purposes. The correspondence email address is used for all communication with GEMA. This serves the purpose of identifying you securely by means of a unique email address and providing comprehensive data protection at the same time.
In order to receive your digital invitation to the General Assembly in 2025 directly in your Online Portal inbox, it is vital that your publisher sets up an administrative authorisation for the portal.
Have you got any questions? Our Member Services team is happy to help you, just contact mitgliederservice@gema.de.
Are you a publisher or do you work for a publisher?
In that case, you need an administrative authorisation for the portal!
Why is the administrative authorisation for the portal so important?
By holding an administrative authorisation for the portal, you ensure the following:
- That you and your authorised employees receive all GEMA notifications (such as the annual VGG notifications) that are important and legally relevant, including the invitation to the General Assembly.
- Secure access for you to manage permissions and authorisations. The portal admin manages and issues online authorisations for the publisher employees.
- Complete protection for your data and smooth communication.
- If your publisher does not hold an administrative authorisation, you will receive the invitation by post which is less efficient and sustainable.
- Simplify how you communicate and stay organised by using a digital access!
This is how you set up an administrative authorisation
1. If you do not have an online account yet, please create it here first.
2. Select your role in the area Activate Online Services.
This will generate a link to the activation application
3. Tick the relevant boxes for publishers and, where applicable, for publishers that you administer.
4. Send your signed form to mitgliederservice@gema.de.
PLEASE NOTE: For an efficient organisation, you can appoint up to three employees for the administrative authorisation.
