The IAPP Press Card
the press pass issued by IAPP

We at the International Association of Press Photographers (IAPP) are authorized to issue a press card to any journalist who works either full- or part-time. Membership to the IAPP is required to receive this ID card.

No matter which membership you choose (Standard or Professional International Membership), the internationally-accepted press card is included in the membership fees. Through your membership, you help support an independent journalist and press association which represents the legitimate interests of journalists, even for those who work part-time. The membership includes additional services at no additional charge.

Every journalist has the right to a press card - including you!
