Press Cards
The NUJ Press Card is formally recognised by all police forces in the UK and de facto by other public bodies. As such, it is an important working tool for journalists in the UK and Ireland.
As a member of the UK Press Card Scheme , the union issues more than half the cards in circulation in the UK. In Ireland it is the only universally recognised card. Please note that the two cards are different.
The union issues cards free of charge to members eligible to carry them under the rules of the scheme.
