Once your account is created, you must upload a letter of assignment and a copy of your press card. Materials should be scanned into a graphics format (.pdf, .gif, .jpg or .png) and uploaded into the Online Registration System. If you don’t have a scanner but do have a smart phone or digital camera, you can take a photo of the card and then upload the file to your profile. The secretariat will not accept materials sent separately by e-mail, fax or post.
PLEASE NOTE: there is a size limit per document of 4MB. Please make sure that attachments do not exceed this size; otherwise, you will receive an error message and the secretariat will be unable to receive your materials.
- The letter of assignment must be on official letterhead of a media organization and signed by the Publisher or Editor-in-chief indicating the name and duration of assignment of the journalist.
- The press card must be valid; we cannot accept press cards that have expired. Only scanned copies of official press cards will be accepted. Self-made press cards will not be accepted.
In the absence of a press card, you may submit additional materials, in line with the UN criteria. If you do not have a press card, please see below for more information.
