How can I deposit my stage name or pseudonym with GVL?

How can I deposit my stage name or pseudonym with GVL?

If you want to deposit a pseudonym or stage name with us, we need evidence for the pseudonym entry.

For other, non-official pseudonyms, please contact: meinegvl@gvl.de after signing the contract.

We accept, among other things, proof of fees, contracts, GEMA excerpts, etc., which connect the civil name with the pseudonym to be registered. Only if both the civil name and the pseudonym are mentioned, this connection is established.

If the pseudonym is an official pseudonym or an official stage name, we require a copy of the identity card/personal document in which the pseudonym was entered as proof.

For data protection reasons, you can black out any information that is not required for this purpose. Your civil name, the pseudonym, your date of birth and the validity of the document ("Valid until...") must be visible.

You are welcome to send this form and your supporting documents as a scan by e-mail to kuenstlervertrag@gvl.de. However, please note that according to the Privacy Policy, sending by e-mail is not a secure transmission and we cannot take responsibility for the protection of your data.
