What is the application process?

To obtain an international ISO/IEC 7816-5 RID, a completed Request for a Registered Application Provider Identifier (ZIP: 95k) should be sent to the appropriate sponsoring authority (i.e. a national standards body, or agent appointed to act for your national body).

The completed registration form must be sent to the sponsoring authority, together with the registration fee. The registration fee is not refundable. Information on how to pay the registration fee can be obtained from your sponsoring authority.

The sponsoring authority verifies whether the request meets the criteria for obtaining an RID as outlined in ISO/IEC 7816-5:2004.

Upon approving the request, the sponsoring authority forwards to the ISO/IEC 7816-5 registration authority, both the sponsored registration form and the registration fee.

When the registration authority has received the sponsored registration form and the registration fee, the completed form is returned to the sponsoring authority with the RID assignment.

The sponsoring authority sends the completed form containing the RID to the applicant, who is then responsible for retaining the form.
