GetPressCard is a platform connecting applicants with news organisations for media jobs and ID-card applications. The receiving issuer reviews each application.
Can I apply for both a job and an ID card?+
Yes. Use one applicant account to apply to separate job and ID-card listings. Each listing has its own eligibility, review and fee, if any.
Does payment guarantee selection or a card?+
No. Registration and application fees do not guarantee a job, acceptance or an ID card. Read the issuer’s displayed terms and refund policy before paying.
Who issues the ID card?+
The named news organisation issues its own channel ID. A separately labelled platform membership card is a private membership ID, not government identification or government press accreditation.
Are my documents visible to everyone?+
No. Submitted documents are private to you, the receiving issuer and platform administrators. Other channels cannot browse your identity documents.
How can a news channel join?+
Register as a news channel, complete the organisation profile and upload ownership proof. Admin approval is required before public listings appear.
