UN Access

ACUNS holds consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) as well as partnerships with UNEP and UNESCO. These affiliations allow it to provide accreditations to ACUNS members who are interested in attending UN events, conferences, or other programs, as well as to request temporary grounds passes.

Only ACUNS members are eligible to obtain event accreditation or a grounds pass. Individuals can sign up for membership by completing the dedicated online form.

Please note that ACUNS cannot guarantee that an applicant will obtain accreditation or a grounds pass. For any questions, please email admin@acuns.org.

Accreditations

If you would like to attend an event organized by the UN, or any international organization, ACUNS can provide you with accreditation to do so as its representative. To proceed with accreditation, please complete the accreditation form below. ACUNS reserves the right to turn down any accreditation request; applicants should have a compelling reason for attending an event as an ACUNS representative.

Please note that for many UN events you must first create an Indico Account and register independently before ACUNS can approve your registration and provide a confirmation letter. Once you have completed the Indico registration, please email ACUNS at admin@acuns.org as soon as possible to finalize the process. You must at the same time complete the ACUNS Event Accreditation Form.

Grounds Passes

ACUNS has temporarily suspended its issuance of UN grounds passes. We apologize for the inconvenience to our members.

If you are an ACUNS member planning on applying for a UN grounds pass in 2026, use the form below to submit your contact information and you will be notified when applications re-open.
