Press Accreditation

The accreditation of the media representatives to the Romanian Government headquarters can be permanent or temporary.

Permanent accreditation

Permanent accreditation implies frequent participation of journalists in the activities taking place at the Government headquarters, based on the press pass badge issued by the Communication and Media Relations Directorate(DCRP). The accreditation badge is handed over to the journalist upon arrival at the Government headquarters, and can be used by the respective journalist only on the Government premises.

The journalists with permanent accreditation are informed, via SMS and e-mail, about the Prime Minister's schedule and the activities taking place at the Government headquarters, and have access to the events held at the Victoria Palace.

In order to obtain permanent accreditation to the Government of Romania for the current year, the journalists should send to the Communication and Media Relations Directorate, the completed forms of the accreditation application, and of the Personal Data Processing Agreement which can be downloaded from the Government's website.

The application will be accompanied, for compliance purposes, by an ID badge photo in electronic format, a copy of the press card and a copy of the ID card.

The complete documentation will be e-mailed to acreditari@gov.ro.

Media institutions can request permanent accreditations as follows:

• For 3 editors and 3 photojournalists of news agencies
• For 3 editors and 8 operators and technicians of the radio and television stations
• For 3 editors and 2 photojournalists of the central written press / online press
• For 1 editor and 1 photojournalist of the local written press

Permanent accreditation is valid until the end of the current year.

Temporary accreditation

Temporary accreditation (valid for one day) is granted to journalists who do not have permanent accreditation and want to attend public events held at the Victoria Palace.

Media representatives who occasionally attend the Victoria Palace events may opt for temporary accreditation based on which they can have access to Government premises, throughout the respective event.

The temporary accreditation is granted based on an application of the editorial office, together with a copy of the identity document, e-mailed to acreditari@gov.ro. For compliance purposes, the journalist should present the identity document and the press card.

Accreditation of local media representatives

It implies inclusion in the DCRP database in order to receive press announcements/ releases regarding the Government’s activity via e-mail, on a permanent basis.

Additional information

The journalists can access the Victoria Palace premises for event attendance via entrance D on Iancu de Hunedoara Boulevard.

The permanent accreditation badge remains in the journalist's possession only during the journalist’s presence in Government premises.
