What this is

Annual ISBN (International Standard Book Number) Membership Fees constitute non-tax public revenue collected by the Government in consideration of the annual registration of publishers in the national ISBN system and the allocation of standardized identifiers for publications. These fees are payable by publishing houses, publishing organizations, and other authorized entities engaged in book publishing, in accordance with the applicable regulations. The annual membership enables publishers to maintain their registered status, request ISBN numbers for their publications, and benefit from bibliographic management services provided by the national ISBN agency. The revenue supports the administration of the ISBN system, the standardization of publications, improved monitoring of the publishing sector, and the promotion and development of the national book and publishing industry.

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The law sets a fee. At the counter it is not always the one you pay. Here is what readers report, counted and summarised.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. We publish the figures together, never your account on its own.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
