Accreditation and Security Checks
 
Media representatives wishing to cover the EAPC 
Security Forum need to request accreditation. Applications can only be made 
electronically on-line via internet, by clicking on the following link: 
https://my.hq.nato.int/jas. 
 
The process requires interested 
media representatives to create a user name and password and to provide a 
digital picture (3.5 x 4.5 cm passport-size photograph in JPEG format). 
Applications for accreditation should be made no later than noon on Friday 22 June 
2007. Applications received after that date may encounter delay 
or be rejected. Media representatives having completed the request for 
accreditation on the internet must bring a print-out of the request 
confirmation.
 
Access to the Media Centre requires 
a media pass delivered at the accreditation office. Media passes will not be 
mailed to applicants and must be picked up in person at the Media Accreditation 
Office upon presentation of a valid I.D. card or passport and a valid press card 
(or letter of accreditation from a recognised media organisation). Passes need 
to be worn visibly at all times and secondary identification may be asked by 
security personnel at any time. Media representatives are informed that security 
personnel will examine and may test equipment and personal effects carried onto 
the site and are advised to arrive with sufficient lead time to clear security 
checks.
 
Television and radio broadcasters, 
wire services and photo agencies bringing bulky equipment are particularly urged 
to bring it into the Media centre on 27 June and no later than 10 a.m. on 28 June 2007.
