ISBNs obtained from the Ministry of Arts and Culture
An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is your book's unique identifier. Without one, no bookshop, library or platform can list your title properly. We obtain the numbers officially from the Ministry of Arts and Culture and assign them to you together with the matching barcode.

ISBN questions
How do I get an ISBN number in Cameroon?
In Cameroon, ISBNs are assigned through the Ministry of Arts and Culture. We handle the whole procedure for you: fill in the order form on this page, we confirm the amount, you pay by Mobile Money, Orange Money or bank transfer, and we send you your ISBN number with the EAN-13 barcode as a vector PDF.
How much does an ISBN cost in Cameroon?
At IT PRO Solutions & Publications, a single ISBN costs 25,000 FCFA, 22,000 FCFA each in a pack of 5, and 20,000 FCFA each from 10 ISBNs. The vector barcode is always included. Same-day rush handling is available for an extra 25,000 FCFA.
How long does it take to receive my ISBN?
Once payment is confirmed, assignment normally takes from 2 hours to 72 working hours. We keep you updated at each step on WhatsApp.
Why one ISBN per format?
The ISBN identifies a specific edition. The paperback, the hardcover and the digital version are three different products for booksellers and libraries, so they take three numbers.
Is the barcode really a vector file?
Yes. You receive a vector PDF: it can be scaled up or down without ever pixelating, and your printer can drop it straight onto the back cover. EPS and SVG are available on request.
Can the price be included in the barcode?
Yes — mention it in the form's notes and we add the price add-on (EAN-5) to the barcode.
Is the ISBN registered in my name or yours?
In your name, or in your publishing house's name if you enter one in the form. You remain the registered publisher of your book.
How is payment made?
After your request we send you the exact amount and the payment details (Mobile Money, Orange Money or bank transfer). The number is assigned as soon as payment is confirmed.
