Accreditation

The credentials of national delegations must be deposited with the International Labour Office 21 days before the opening of the Conference (i.e. Monday, 20 May), to allow sufficient time for the large number of participants whose credentials and visa requests require processing, respectively, by the Office and the Swiss authorities.

The Online Accreditation System for member States’ tripartite delegations is available at www.ilo.org/credentials. Access codes will be sent to Permanent Missions of member States in Geneva in April. Member States without Permanent Missions in Geneva may request codes directly from [email protected]. In view of the large number of credentials annually processed (over 6,000 in 2018), Member States are urged to use the Online Accreditation System to submit the credentials of their tripartite delegations. Not only does the Online System expedite accreditation, but it ensures that participants’ details are accurately uploaded and that the registration to speak and participate in committees may be completed.

An Explanatory note for national delegations on the deposit of credentials is available on the Credentials website, describing the various categories of participants at the Conference and the roles that they play.
