When requesting media accreditation or introducing yourself to a new organization, an email address associated with an established international media organization helps present your communication in a more professional and credible manner. It also demonstrates that you are a member of an international community of visual professionals, helping create a stronger first impression and build trust from the very first contact.

Available exclusively to verified Press Members.

Press ID Card

The Camerapixo Press ID Card is the official identification credential issued to verified PRESS Members. Available in digital or printed form depending on your Membership, it represents your connection to an international media organization dedicated to supporting photographers, videographers, journalists, and visual storytellers.

As part of your PRESS Membership, the Press ID Card helps strengthen your professional identity when documenting events, building your portfolio, communicating with organizers, and presenting yourself in a professional media environment. While access to specific events always depends on the organizer and may require separate accreditation, it serves as a trusted form of professional identification that helps demonstrate your affiliation with Camerapixo Press when communicating with organizers and media representatives.

Unlike standalone press cards offered without ongoing support, the Camerapixo Press ID Card is backed by a complete Membership ecosystem that includes professional tools, publishing opportunities, educational resources, and continuous development designed for today’s visual professionals.

Remember, the true value of a Press ID Card lies not in the card itself, but in the professional Membership, community, support, and opportunities that stand behind it. Note: Unverified, expired, suspended, or altered Press ID Cards are invalid and must not be used.

Who can apply

PRESS Membership is open to photographers, videographers, journalists, reporters, writers, travelers, bloggers, content creators, drone operators, and other visual storytellers aged 18 or older who actively create photo or video content.

To apply, simply create a free TRIAL ACCESS account and complete the online application. As part of the review process, applicants are asked to provide basic information together with a website, portfolio, blog, or social media profile that showcases their work. Every application is individually reviewed by our press team. Beginners are also welcome. In some cases, applicants with limited experience may be asked to complete selected introductory courses available through our ONLINE ACADEMY Membership before their application can be approved. This helps ensure that all PRESS Members understand the responsibilities and professional standards associated with journalistic work.

Please note that the Camerapixo Press ID Card supports professional media activities but is not a certification of photography, videography, or journalistic skills. Applications are typically reviewed within a few minutes to 24 hours. You will receive the decision in your Message Board and by email. Camerapixo Press reserves the right to decline incomplete or unsuitable applications.

Support for PRESS Members

Your PRESS Membership includes one year of professional support from the date your Membership is activated. Our team is available to assist you with media accreditation requests, professional documentation, and other resources that support your work as a photographer, videographer, journalist, or visual storyteller.

Using your PRESS ID TOOLS, you can quickly generate personalized accreditation letters, assignment letters, and proof of Membership documents. Every accreditation request is individually reviewed before approval and, once issued, becomes available in your dashboard together with your digital Press ID Card and other professional tools.

While many organizers recognize Camerapixo Press Members and their Press ID Cards, accreditation decisions always remain at the discretion of the event organizer. In many situations, however, your Press ID Card alone may be sufficient to confirm your professional affiliation. Organizers can also verify your Membership online or contact Camerapixo Press directly to confirm your credentials.

USEFUL LINKS

Dedicated Photography Magazines

Publishing has been at the heart of Camerapixo Press since 2009. Through our growing family of WE INSPIRE digital magazines, photographers, videographers, and visual storytellers have the opportunity to showcase their work to an international audience while building a lasting professional portfolio.

As a PRESS Member, you may submit your photographs, reportages, interviews, and visual stories for editorial review and possible publication across our themed magazine editions covering sports, aviation, travel, wildlife, culture, events, documentary photography, and many other creative fields.

For larger projects, you can also publish your own standalone Photo Journal or Reportage Edition. Our editorial team can professionally design and publish it for you, or you can prepare your own publication using our ready-made templates and submit the final PDF for conversion into a digital flipbook.

Depending on your Membership, you may publish up to 12 standalone Photo Journals each calendar year, creating a permanent collection of professional publications that extends far beyond social media. Many organizers and editors value published work as part of a photographer’s portfolio, making publication an important step in building long-term professional credibility.

Modular online PRESS profile

Every PRESS Membership includes access to your modular online PRESS Profile featuring DigiCardOne — your professional digital business card. Together, they help present your professional identity, photography, publications, media credentials, and contact information in one place.

Your modular profile can showcase your biography, photography specialties, featured galleries, published work, awards, equipment, videos, social media, portfolio links, books, magazines, and other professional resources. It also displays your digital Press Badge and provides quick access to your media credentials when communicating with organizers, editors, or clients.

A professional online profile is often one of the first things event organizers review when evaluating accreditation requests. Your Camerapixo Press profile helps demonstrate your experience, published work, and connection to an international media organization.

As a Member, you can also promote your publications, photography books, magazines, and selected editorial projects through the Camerapixo Press publishing network.

Press ID cards for
certified drone pilots

Drone operations are subject to different regulations depending on the country and type of assignment. We understand these challenges and recognize that professional identification can be an important part of communicating with event organizers, property owners, and public authorities when carrying out aerial photo and video projects.

For certified drone pilots, a Camerapixo Press ID Card can be a valuable complement to your official remote pilot certification when working on editorial assignments or documenting events. It is designed to support photographers, videographers, and visual storytellers who specialize in aerial photography and videography.

The Camerapixo Press ID Card complements — but does not replace — official certifications such as the FAA Part 107 Certificate (US), CAA Civil Aviation Authority Certificate (UK), SFOC Special Flight Operations Certificate (Canada), or CASA Civil Aviation Safety Authority Certificate (Australia). Camerapixo Press does not issue these certifications.

Create your account and apply for PRESS Membership to become part of our international community of photographers, videographers, and visual storytellers. Note: At this time, the dedicated Certified Drone Pilot Press ID Card is available only in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Existing Camerapixo Press Members may order an additional Certified Drone Pilot Press ID Card through their account.

Terms and Conditions

Last updated and most accurate: October 2025

Name Policy (Legal Name Requirement)

For verification and credibility purposes, Camerapixo Press ID Cards are issued only under the applicant’s legal name, exactly as shown on an official government-issued ID document (passport, national ID, or driver’s license). This is an important professional standard — in real-world situations, authorities, event organizers, security staff, or institutions may need to verify your identity. If the name on your Press ID Card does not match your official documents, the card may not support your credibility when it matters most. An artistic name alone cannot be used for identity verification because it is not legally tied to your personal documents.

For this reason, artistic names, nicknames, and brand names cannot replace legal identity on a Press ID Card. However, your professional/artistic name may be added as an optional secondary line (e.g., “Professional name / also known as”), while the legal name remains the primary identification.

Common questions
about Press ID Cards

How can event organizers verify a Camerapixo Press ID Card?

Event organizers, security staff, venue management or accreditation teams can verify any Camerapixo Press ID Card in just a few seconds. Every issued card has a unique serial number and a QR code linked to our public verification system.

Verification steps:

Scan the QR code printed on the Press ID Card using any smartphone camera. The scan automatically opens the journalist’s public verification page, showing:

  • Full name
  • Serial number of the card
  • Current validity status

If the card is active, the page will show that the journalist is an approved member of Camerapixo Press.

If a card becomes expired, suspended, or revoked, it will no longer appear in the public database.

No. Camerapixo Press ID Cards include only internal identification numbers generated by our system. Every Press ID Card we issue contains a unique number created and assigned directly by our system. This number begins with “CA” and is securely linked to our online verification platform, allowing quick and official verification of a cardholder’s identity and membership status. If you are already a member and have a valid card, you may be asked to enter your Press ID number during form submissions. In that case, please enter the number starting with “CA”, exactly as it appears on your card. We do not allow the use of personal, custom, or third-party-issued ID numbers on our cards or in our documentation. This includes numbers from other press agencies, freelance platforms, companies, or membership services.  Legal & Professional Notice: From a legal and professional standpoint, each credential must be issued and verified by its originating organization only. Using ID numbers from third-party entities on documents produced by another organization—such as Camerapixo Press—is prohibited.

Attempting to include or “import” a different ID number into our documents:

  • Violates our terms of service,
  • Compromises the integrity of the global verification system,
  • May result in the revocation of your card and membership.

This rule is common across all professional credentialing systems. ID numbers must remain exclusive to the issuing organization and cannot be transferred, reused, or embedded in materials created by others. We take this policy seriously to ensure transparency, reliability, and trust in our platform worldwide.

Can I use an artistic name on my Press ID Card?

Yes — however, for verification and credibility purposes, Press ID Cards must display the applicant’s legal name exactly as shown on an official ID document (passport, national ID, or driver’s license). Your artistic or professional name may be included as an optional secondary line (e.g., “Professional name / also known as”).

Do you need a press card for a freelance journalist?

The requirements for freelance journalists can vary depending on the country and specific circumstances. However, a press card can benefit freelance journalists in many cases. A press card serves as identification and can provide certain privileges and access to events, press conferences, and other restricted areas.

While a press card is not a universal requirement, it can lend credibility to your status as a journalist and facilitate your work. It may also help obtain press credentials for covering certain events or gaining access to government institutions or official sources.

The process for obtaining a press card varies by jurisdiction. In some cases, press cards are issued by journalist associations, unions, professional organizations, or media outlets such as a photography magazine. In other instances, they may be provided by government agencies responsible for media accreditation. It’s advisable to check with relevant authorities or professional organizations in your country to determine if a press card is recommended or required for freelance journalists and to learn about the application process.

Even if a press card is not mandatory, adhering to ethical standards, following local laws, and maintaining professionalism is essential as a freelance journalist. Building relationships with editors, publications, and fellow journalists can also contribute to your success in the field.

Do you need a press pass if you work as a freelancer?

The need for a press pass as a freelancer can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the requirements of the organization or event you are covering. In many cases, having a press pass can benefit you and give you certain privileges and access. However, it’s important to note that the requirements for obtaining a press pass and its associated privileges can differ significantly between countries, organizations, and events. We strongly recommend getting one and always having it with you, especially when on any photography assignment.

Do add-on Press ID Cards (e.g., Drone Operator) have their own expiration date?

No. All add-on Press ID Cards (such as Drone Operator credentials) are issued as an extension of your main Camerapixo Press membership. They are connected to the same verified profile and share the same Press ID number, therefore they always follow the same expiration date as your primary Press ID Card.

If I order add-on cards later, will they extend my membership expiration?

No. Add-on cards do not extend your membership period. Even if you order them at a later time, they will remain valid only until the expiration date of your main Press ID membership, because the verification system checks the status of your primary account. To renew or extend your expiration date, the main membership must be renewed.

How should my Press ID Card photo look like?

Your photo should look like a professional, passport-style portrait. Your face must be fully visible and centered, with your eyes looking straight at the camera. Use clean, even lighting (no strong shadows) and a simple neutral background such as white or light gray. A natural smile is allowed, but sunglasses, hats, or anything that hides your face is not accepted. For best print quality, upload a square JPG photo (800 × 800 px, minimum 150 DPI). Below are clear examples of images that are NOT acceptable for your Press ID Card and those that ARE acceptable.
