The work must already be registered
ISRCs are added by creating a draft update to an existing work

3. Check for International Standard Recording Code (ISRC)

If an ISRC is linked, it will appear in this section.

If a publisher is added, publisher links are required. Refer to How To Add Publisher Links in the Member Portal for step-by-step instructions.

2. You’ll see a confirmation message:
   “Success! Your changes have been saved.”
