Can we change our organization's name in EIDR?
If your organization name or branding has changed, you can contact the EIDR Support team at [email protected] and explain that you would like to do a bulk update for all of the records associated with your organization. Simply provide them with the previous name(s) and the updated one and they can make that change for you. They should also be able to give you a list of all records associated with your organization's previous name, but you can also search for those using the EIDR interface, which anyone can access at https://ui.eidr.org/search
Can we make changes to our EIDR records after we've submitted them?
Yes, all registrants are encouraged to update metadata as needed to ensure that EIDR is the industry's "single source of truth" for every program's baseline metadata profile.
If the title changes do we have to create a new EIDR record?
If your title is a working title when you submit it, you should indicate that in the Title Class field. If the title changes before the program is released, you can edit the title. If the program is re-distributed using a different title than it had at release, EIDR allows you to input multiple titles (previous, AKA, etc.)
