Access the public ISAN Registry directly through our web interface. This tool allows you to quickly verify if a work has already been registered by searching key metadata such as title, director, or production year. It is the ideal solution for occasional checks and single-work verification. Access limited data via our Public Search

For comprehensive due diligence, registered users can log in with their ISAN Reader credentials to access the full ISAN dataset, including detailed metadata and version hierarchies not visible in the public view.

For professionals managing extensive libraries, the Bulk Search tool enables the simultaneous verification of hundreds or thousands of titles. By uploading a structured Excel file, you can efficiently cross-reference your entire catalog against the global ISAN database. The Excel format mirrors that of bulk registrations, with the flexibility to omit required fields if the data is unavailable.

Please contact your ISAN Registration Agency for further details on the ISAN Bulk Search or a quotation for your catalogue.

The ISAN Matching Service is an advanced solution delivered by ISAN-IA and its Registration Agencies to retrieve existing ISAN identifiers based on submitted metadata. Unlike a standard search, the Matching Service applies specialized business logic to ensure precision:

• Standard Search: Retrieves a list of all potential results matching your criteria, which may return multiple candidates requiring manual review.
• Intelligent Matching: Analyzes the submitted metadata against the registry using deduplication algorithms to identify the single correct candidate. It typically returns one definitive ISAN or a very shortlist of high-probability matches.

The ISAN Matching Service efficiently processes large catalogs to minimize manual effort, with an optional manual review available to guarantee data integrity.
