ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is the key identifier for books in the supply chain; an ISBN uniquely identifies a specific book by a specific publisher in a specific format.

The International ISBN Agency wishes to inform publishers, booksellers, libraries and other participants in the book supply chain in Brazil about forthcoming changes with regard to ISBN assignment. Starting 1 March 2020, the International ISBN Agency has appointed Câmara Brasileira do Livro to operate the ISBN service.

Fundação Biblioteca Nacional and its partner, Fundação Miguel de Cervantes, will continue to provide all ISBN services to publishers up to 28 February 2020.

Fundação Biblioteca Nacional, Fundação Miguel de Cervantes and Câmara Brasileira do Livro are working to ensure that there is no interruption in the ISBN services provided to publishers during the transition period and also that allocation records are accurately transferred.

Up to 28 February 2020, all ISBN queries and applications should be made to:
