EIDR IDs normally require EIDR membership, an IT department, and familiarity with entertainment metadata standards and nomenclature. For the rest of us, there’s The Title Registrar. It is our mission to make EIDR easy for the rest of us.
We built a web app that makes it easy to create an EIDR registration record online. And we’re there to help get you through the registration process. Every submission is reviewed by one of our staff to make sure that it’s accurate, complete, and consistent. We’ll send you an email when your IDs have been issued, and you can use our interface to keep track of your titles, and to update or correct any previously-created records.
EIDR is used as the connective tissue [for our data management, asset management and publishing workflows]”

EIDR’s best practice is to get your IDs as soon as a project is green-lighted. This allows you to reference the ID in contracts, licenses, and agreements with vendors and partners during all phases of production and distribution. It ensures that all distribution partners reference the same ID, making ratings and royalty reporting easier to consolidate, and more accurate. And it keeps the record under your control.
