Mexico's combined PRO + mechanical society is central to Latin American sync, reflecting Mexico City's importance in Spanish-language TV and film.
What SACM collects
Performance royalties are collected by a performing rights organization whenever a composition plays publicly, including on radio, television, a stream, or at a live venue.
In Mexico, SACM collects public performance, mechanicals — Mexico. SACM was established in 1945 and reports approximately 12,000 members.
Joining SACM
Joining cost: Free. Royalties are distributed quarterly. You need an IPI number — the global identifier connecting a writer with their works, without which registrations cannot be matched to payments.
Register directly at SACM.
Where Davincii fits
You don't file with SACM yourself because Davincii includes that registration in standard onboarding. We file your compositions, maintain the data match, and collect payments from SACM.
