that provide this service.</p> <p>Two tips – it’s a good idea first of all to check whether or not an ISNI has already been registered for you, by searching the <a href="https://isni.org/page/search-database" target="_blank">ISNI database</a>. If you have published works already available via library or commercial databases, then your ISNI may have been assigned via data from one of our many source databases.  And second, try to have ready some details of creative works with which you are associated or other information that will help us confirm your public identity.</p> <p>Currently the following Registration Agencies offer ISNI assignments to the general public.
