How to Use the ISRC Checker

Validate any 12-character code by entering it into the input field above. Our system automatically parses the string into its four required components, ensuring your metadata meets ARIA and international standards:

  • Country Code: The two-character ISO code (e.g., 'AU' for Australia) representing the registrant's location.
  • Registrant Code: A three-character alphanumeric sequence assigned to the rights holder or label.
  • Year of Reference: The final two digits of the year the ISRC was issued.
  • Designation Code: A unique five-digit identifier assigned by the producer to that specific recording.

Why Metadata is Your Most Important Asset

Streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, as well as collection societies like APRA AMCOS and PPCA, rely on precise data to calculate your royalties. Inaccurate metadata can lead to 'black box' revenue—money earned by your music that can't be paid out because the system doesn't know who you are.

Sync Your Credits for Maximum Reach

Ensure your credits, composer names, and publishing details are synchronised across all platforms. For Aussie artists looking to scale their reach globally, using our AI Music Promotion Campaign Generator with verified metadata ensures your music reaches curators and radio programmers without technical friction.

Before you distribute your next single, double-check your technical details with our Music Metadata & Credits Checklist to ensure nothing gets missed.

FAQ

Do I need a new ISRC for a remix?
Yes. Every unique recording—including remixes, edits, or live versions—requires its own distinct ISRC to ensure royalties are tracked correctly for that specific version.
How do I get an ISRC in Australia?
In Australia, you can obtain ISRC codes through ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) or via your digital distributor. Our tool helps you validate these codes before you submit them to platforms.
