Applying for media or external visitor credentials

Apply for media credentials

If you want a media credential please complete this online registration form. 

Please note that due to changes in data protection law we now have four different application processes. So please follow these instructions carefully.

On the registration form please register as a visitor (options 3 and 4) and choose ‘Media’ in the category field. If you are registering yourself, please use option 3. If you are registering someone else please use option 4.

The data that you've entered will be used to mail merge the covering letter we send out with your pass so please take care over the entry, particularly with postcodes.

A media credential gives you extensive access at Congress. The ‘Access requirement’ question on the application form relates to disability e.g. wheelchair access. Please do not enter anything into this field unless you are disabled.

You will need to upload a passport-style head and shoulders photo.

If you have any queries or require any further information about media credentials, please contact: Alen Mathewson 020 7467 1242 or [email protected]

Deadline for media credentials

Applications for media passes must be completed no later than noon on Tuesday 28 August. Any applications received after this date will be processed when possible and may be subject to delay.

Late applications will be subject to a £75 administration fee.

You may find it helpful to know that the TUC has arranged for free wi-fi throughout the conference venue.

Passes will be sent out from the middle of August, so please do not be surprised if you do not receive your credential immediately.


 

Apply for external visitor credentials

N.b There is a separate form held by unions if you are applying through your union.
