Media accreditation to OSCE meetings and conferences

Bona fide representatives of the media - print media, photo, radio, television and film, news agencies and online media - can be accredited to the OSCE in Vienna.

For the yearly Media Accreditation, applicants need to provide the following:

Completed accreditation form
A letter of assignment on official letterhead of a media organization
A valid press card (national or international)
Scanned image of passport/national ID card

If you agree to the terms of accreditation and guidelines on media access to the OSCE, please fill out the Accreditation form and submit it with the attachments by E-mail to: press@osce.org. When your request has been processed, you will be informed of the time when you can come to the OSCE (Hofburg, 5th Floor) to receive your OSCE Media badge.

Media credentials are issued by the OSCE free of charge.
Delivery of badges will take place Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 16:00.

Journalists holding a valid press ID, but not holding an OSCE Media accreditation badge will be able to attend media events in the Hofburg Congress Centre by registering in advance, as specified in the media advisories ahead of such events.

Journalists who do not hold a valid press ID are requested to contact the OSCE Communication and Media Relations Section ahead of the event they wish to cover.
