The Transitory Registration Agency (TRA) is the Registration Agency managed by ISAN International Agency (ISAN-IA) based in Geneva - Switzerland with the mission of allocating ISAN for works and versions to all audiovisual content whose Registrants are located in a country not covered yet by a local Registration Agency (RA).
As soon as a Local Registration Agency is appointed in such a country, the Registrant’s account and all the ISAN allocated by that Registrant will be transferred to the new Registration Agency.
