FAQs for new publishers

ISBNs are assigned to publishers in the country where the publisher's main office is based. This is irrespective of the language of the publication or the intended market for the book.

The ISBN Agency is the national agency for the UK and Republic of Ireland and British Overseas Territories. Publishers based elsewhere will not be able to get numbers from the UK Agency (even if you are a British Citizen) but can contact the UK ISBN Agency for details of the relevant national Agency.
