NEW PROCEDURE - UN GROUNDS
PASSES FOR ECOSOC NGO'S
As of 21 August 2012, NGO Branch, DESA in New York will move to the main Secretariat building and will no longer be based in DC-1. Therefore, the application process for UN grounds passes for NGOs in ECOSOC consultative status will be the following:
• You will no longer be required to visit the DESA NGO Branch for issuance
of UN Grounds Passes.
• Instead, you will be required to pre-register your request online at http://csonet.org/?menu=86.
• As before, you will need a letter from your organization (on the
organization’s letterhead) in order to obtain a pass. This is a mandatory
requirement.
• You will then apply for the pass, with all the necessary documentation, in
person, at the UN Pass and ID office, situated at the corner of 45th Street and
1st Avenue, NYC, between the hours of 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through
Friday.
• Registrations submitted online before 4 pm (New York time) will be endorsed the next business day by the UN Pass & ID office.
