Your International Press Card
Workpress allows its members to obtain the International Press Card. This press pass confirms your status as a journalist and facilitates your press activity and obtaining your accreditations.
To comply with laws and ethical rules, and to prevent identity theft, only members with a press status registered by our Union and a verified identity can obtain the international press card in their name and/or pseudonym.
The Press Card: An Indispensable Working Tool?
A Press Card serves as an indispensable professional tool that confirms the professional status of its holder.
It is particularly useful for independent journalists, as it provides the rights and protections afforded to all journalists under relevant laws, judicial rulings, and international treaties.
A Press Card facilitates access to events, accreditation requests, interviews, and reporting.
In many countries, a Press Card also provides rights to benefits reserved for the press, including tax deductions, discounted rates for transportation, travel accommodations, vehicle rentals, express delivery services, and more.
A free Press Card available for all members.
Each WorkPress member receives a free Press Card.
Your internationally recognized professional Press Card (1) will certify your Press Status and the protections (Reporter’s Privilege) afforded by national laws and international treaties. Furthermore, to enhance your professional activities, you will have the opportunity to select the Union College (2) that aligns with your primary profession. This choice will also grant you access to services dedicated to that activity.
