Accreditation of journalists and media professionals
Journalists and other media professionals require an accreditation issued by the Communications Office to work within the grounds of the Shrine of Fátima.
There are three types of accreditation: temporary accreditation, permanent accreditation and specific accreditation for International Anniversary Pilgrimages and special occasions.
Temporary Accreditation
This allows journalists and media professionals to carry out their work at the Shrine of Fátima occasionally and for a short period of time.
As this accreditation is personalised, if a whole team is coming, accreditation must be requested for each member, indicating a coordinator who will serve as the contact person with the Shrine.
To help us schedule and prepare for the arrival of media professionals, accreditation requests should always be made in advance, from Monday to Friday.
Requests for temporary accreditation must be submitted to the Communications Office by filling out this form.
Permanent accreditation
The Shrine of Fátima provides permanent accreditation for journalists and media professionals who carry out regular and consistent journalistic work there. It is personal and non-transferable, and valid for one year.
It authorises journalists to access authorised areas, as set out in the rules on staying and moving around, and is provided in the form of an identification card. However, they must inform the Communications Office in advance of their visit for work purposes by emailing press@Fátima.pt.
The institution reserves the right to grant permanent accreditation only to professionals with a regular and relevant presence at the Shrine of Fátima, as evidenced by the quantity of work carried out or the number of accreditations obtained in previous years.
Accreditation for International Anniversary Pilgrimages and special occasions
To accompany the International Anniversary Pilgrimages in May, August and October, and on special occasions, the Shrine of Fátima grants another type of accreditation.
The Communications Office will announce in good time the period during which professionals can apply for this accreditation and will provide a specific form.
