Letter of accreditation
A letter of accreditation from the United States Press Agency (USPA) is a supplementary document to the standard press pass that can make your job as a journalist even easier. In some cases, it may even be required in order for you to pursue your work. A letter of accreditation allows event organizers and agencies to verify your status as a member of the news media, which is helpful when you seek access to private areas and press conferences or want to take photographs at special events. Members of the media who are able to present a letter of accreditation may only be hindered in their journalistic practice in the face of compelling reasons or undue, unacceptable risks.

In addition to a press pass, registered members receive a letter of accreditation from us. There is no additional charge for a letter of accreditation besides the annual registration fee for your USPA membership.
