# How do I get an ISRC and UPC code?

## ISRCs and UPCs are essential when distributing a release. Each release will have independent codes which are unique identifiers for that release.

If you haven’t already got an ISRC or UPC for your release we can assign these for you. When uploading your release, keep these fields blank and once the team have reviewed and approved your release, the codes will be assigned. 

You’ll be able to find your assigned ISRC and UPC code when viewing the song after it’s been approved.
