If you have already been accredited and your name or organization appears on the IAC´s Register of Accredited Observers (.pdf), you do not need to re-apply for accreditation to IAC meetings (Scientific Committee, Consultative Committee or Conferences of the Parties); however, you must inform us of your intent to participate in an upcoming meeting by the deadline set by the Secretariat and host country, by sending the Participation form (Word file) to the Secretariat.

For extraordinary meetings of the Conference of the Parties, only observers accredited for the previous Conference may participate, as specified in Rule 11.7 of Resolution CIT-COP5-2003-R4-Rev.1 “Rules of Procedure for Meetings of the Parties” (.pdf).

New accreditations for observer status:
Please send an email to the IAC Secretariat secretario@iacseaturtle.org with the subject "Request for IAC Observer Accreditation", attaching a letter of interest requesting accreditation as an observer before the IAC, specifying whether the application is for an organization or an individual.

The application must include

2. The organization name
3. Accreditation Status (Organization or Individual)
4. Contact Information
5. Description of work/research experience in matters related to the IAC
6. CV of the person requesting accreditation.
