An ISRC Prefix allows recording owners to assign ISRC to their recordings.
- An ISRC Prefix can be allocated on request to individual artists, record companies, and others who own the rights in recordings
- In cases where the applicant has neither headquarters or operations in a territory for which there is an ISRC Agency, applications may be directed to the International ISRC Registration Authority via the process below.

- You do not need to be a member of the IFPI or a national music industry trade association in order to apply for a Registrant Code and assign ISRCs to your recordings.
- Please remember ISRCs are assigned ONCE and remain the same for the lifetime of the recording. Should the rights be sold to a sound or music video recording that has an ISRC assigned, the new rights owner MUST NOT change that ISRC.
The ISRC Handbook explains how to use the ISRC Prefix
