Accreditation and Security Checks
All media representatives and their supporting staff must be
properly accredited with specific accredition badges.
Applications for accreditation should be made by post, using
the attached official application form also available at the
Press and Information Office of the Italian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs (tel : +39 06 36 91 3432, +39 06 36 91 85 73 ; fax :
+39 06 36 91 21 22) and on following Internet web site accreditostampa.natorussia2002.it
One passport photograph must be included with the application.
Please note the following :
- Italian media representatives: accreditation forms
must be accompanied by a letter of authorization from the
head of the media organization represented ;
- International media not permanently accredited with the
Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs: accreditation forms
must be sent through the Embassy in Rome of the media organization's
home country ;
- International media representatives permanently accredited
with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs : accreditation
forms may be submitted directly to the Press and Information
Office of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs ;
- International media representatives permanently accredited
with NATO : accreditation forms may be submitted directly
to the Press and Information Office of the Italian Ministry
of Foreign Affairs.
On-line registration : It is possible to register on-line
by completing and submitting the interactive form available
on the accreditostampa.natorussia2002.it
web site ; digital photographs can be attached.
On-line registration alone does not entitle media representatives
to accreditation. Once application forms have been completed
and submitted on-line, a hard copy must still be printed and
returned , applying the procedure indicated above. On-line registration
coupled with the sending of the hard copy documents guarantees
a more accurate processing of the data, avoiding possible errors
and delays and making it possible to check and issue accreditation
badges more rapidly.
It is therefore strongly recommended that media representatives
register on-line, before sending hard copies of the documents
required for accreditation.
The required documents accompanied by one passport-size
photograph must be returned by 18 May, 2002, to the following
address :
