What Is the International Certificate of Book Publication?
The International Certificate of Book Publication is an online certificate awarded to eligible books that are published by international publishers and conform to established international standards. It is issued to both the publisher and the author and includes a unique identification number that can be verified and authenticated online at any time.
It is essential to distinguish between an ISBN (International Standard Book Number), which serves as a unique identifier printed on the cover or preliminary pages of all published books, and the International Certificate of Book Publication. While obtaining an ISBN is a fundamental and mandatory step for all books regardless of their publication level or audience, receiving the International Certificate of Book Publication is optional. It is granted only to books that meet specific criteria and conditions. Possessing an ISBN alone does not qualify a book for this certificate. In other words, while every published book must have an ISBN, not all books are eligible to receive the International Certificate of Book Publication.
