Even the most experienced journalists are confirming that restrictions on cost free parking in non-parking areas are very common and that there are relatively few exceptions. Although there is no legal right for a car press sign, there are usually no problems for vehicles displaying the car press sign while working in the field. The ifnm car press sign can make the difference!
Using of car sign "PRESS" during car driving for urgent business concerned with journalistic activities is allowed. However using of car sign "Press" does not release an agent from keeping to road laws.
Journalists, photographers, bloggers, part or full-time journalists and freelance news gatherers working for the international, national, regional, local or online press can apply for a Press Pass through ifnm. Parking permits, issued in some jurisdictions, exempt news vehicles from certain parking restrictions while on the job. They may be offered to any news-gathering organization that covers breaking news for use in company vehicles employed by full-time or freelance reporters, photographers, and camera operators. Often, these permits are only granted to journalists who already carry a Press Card.

ifnm members are official registered on our website and are authorized to use the ifnm name affix or the ifnm logo "Member of International Federation of New Media" or "Member of ifnm" on their website, business cards, letterheads or other business documents. The ifnm online verification system provides current status of press pass and the ifnm membership. Trade show organizers, press agencies, event organizers, and providers of favorable conditions for the press can make an online search in order to verify whether accredited journalists or press photographers are officially registered through ifnm.
