- The system will ask you to attach a scanned copy of your valid press card issued by organisations, associations, professional bodies and trade unions for the print and written press registered in Spain, or by organisations belonging to the International Federación Internacional de Periodistas (FAPE). Failing that, attach a copy of an article published in the last three months signed by you, or a letter from the media outlet you work for confirming your journalistic work.
- The application form is for individual use. A different email address must be used for each application. Applications for accreditation for teams as a whole will not be accepted.
