Regional Agency provides a fee-based service which requires new publishers (i.e. those who are requesting participation in the Regional ISBN System for the first time) to pay a non-refundable registration fee and also for each block of ISBNs which is allocated. The registration fee does not apply to persons who have been previously allocated ISBNs by the Regional/National Agency.

Cheque made payable to the Caribbean Community Secretariat
Bank Draft made payable to the Caribbean Community Secretariat
Wire transfer (transaction fees are payable by the publisher).
