Accreditation

A 1:17 minute video explaining what accreditation is and how important it is for event security and success. Everyone taking part in large-scale events requiring accreditation, including delegates, media representatives, staff and suppliers, must complete the process before they can access event locations. Those who qualify will be granted the appropriate level of access, which will help ensure the safety of all event participants.

Each delegation will assign a Delegated Accreditation Officer (DAO) to complete all registrations on behalf of the delegation.

• Visit the registration site and select your preferred language.

• Enter the registration code provided by your Liaison Coordinator.

• Read and confirm the Privacy Notice Statement and Consent.

• Log in using the username, password, and Personal Identification Number (PIN) provided by your Liaison Coordinator.

• Click “Add a new delegate” located at the top of the screen.

• Fill in the required information and upload a clear, recent, passport-style photo.

• Submit the application.

• Select “Add a new delegate” to continue with a new application.

A few things to remember:

• Global Affairs Canada will provide a username, password, and PIN to the Delegated Accreditation Officer for each delegation.

• Do not submit a photo of your passport picture. Your photo must be an original, high-quality image of yourself, not a scanned, photocopied, or photographed image of your passport or any other document.

• If there are any issues with your registration, a Liaison Officer will reach out to the DAO.

If you’re a media representative (for example, a journalist, cameraperson or producer) attending any G7 event, you must obtain accreditation. This applies for all media representatives working for a bona fide media organization, travelling as part of a delegation or independently.

Please note the media accreditation process for the Summit has not started yet.

Who can apply

The media application process is open to media representatives who are:

• on assignment with a recognized media organization

• working individually

• working for a civil society organization or non-governmental organization with a mandate that focuses on the G7

Government officials, representatives or observers will not be accredited as media.

What to include in your application

You must submit a letter of assignment prepared by your media organization as part of your application.

This letter must:

• be prepared on the official letterhead of your media organization

• be signed by an authorized editor or publisher within the organization with their contact information

• identify you by name

• confirm you’re assigned to a G7 event and explain your role

If you’re a journalist working individually or otherwise who can’t provide a letter of assignment, you must provide proof of your recent publications that focus on the G7 Summit under your byline.

You must fill out your own application online, including providing your own letter of assignment. Members of the same news organization cannot apply as a group.

If you have any questions about media accreditation, you can send an email to G72025infomedia@international.gc.ca.

Individuals must complete their own registration.

• Visit the registration site and select your preferred language.

• Enter the registration code provided by your point of contact.

• Read and confirm the Privacy Notice Statement and Consent.

• Create a new account or log into an existing account.

• Complete all the required fields and upload a clear, recent, passport-style photo.

• Ensure that your name, date of birth, and identification number match the photo identification uploaded into the portal.

• Submit the application.

A few things to remember:

• Each event requires a new account.
