PMAN Membership Biometric Identity Card (PMBIC), is a multipurpose card specially designed for Nigerian artistes and allied operators in the entertainment industry.

Renewable annually, the PMBIC will serve as the official PMAN identification card that qualifies the holder as a genuine member of the association and entitles the artiste to enjoy the myriad benefits and privileges due to registered members.

“The scheme is to create a robust and protective platform for all Nigerian singers, back-up singers, instrumentalists, dancers, comedians, script writers, film producers, actors and actresses, distributors, marketers, Disc Jockeys (DJs) and artiste managers among others.

“It is to globally authenticate each artiste’s involvement in the Nigerian music and entertainment industry. It also offers members the opportunity to encode and barcode their works and intellectual property through the Global System One (GSI), to prevent unauthorised duplications or usage. It further guarantees payment of royalties through the Nigerian Interbank Settlement System (NIBSS).
