Do you own your own publishing? Is your publishing name registered with your PRO (I'm under the assumption that you're a BMI writer, thus you should have a BMI publishing name too). If you're registered as a publisher, you would need to let your PRO know that you have a song to register and inform them in the registration who the artist is. BMI should have reciprocal deals with all other countries.

The idea of using a publishing Admin is if you have a hit or a large catalog that would be faster to collect on from other countries, rather than waiting on the information filtering thru BMI from foreign territories.

Essentially an Admin would take over the responsibility of registering the song in all the territories its released in.

I don't recommend any publishing services provided by Tunecore or CD Baby Pro. Most people would never make back what they spend on the service.
