COP31 Antalya Registration Guide 2026
Registration for COP31 is managed officially by UNFCCC through its Online Registration System (ORS). Participants are nominated by their Party, observer organisation, UN body or accredited media organisation, approved by UNFCCC, and issued a badge free of charge.
A practical summary of how COP31 accreditation works and where each official rule lives. DmcTurkeyPartner does not register participants and cannot obtain badges — this page exists to point you to the right place, then help with everything that happens after you are accredited.

Who Manages COP31 Registration
Registration for COP31 is managed officially by UNFCCC through its Online Registration System (ORS). This page provides a practical summary and links users to the appropriate official information.
No travel company, DMC or event supplier can register you, nominate you or obtain a badge on your behalf. UNFCCC states that registration formalities, including badge issuance for duly nominated participants, are free of charge. Any offer to sell you COP31 accreditation should be treated as a warning sign.
Who Can Register
Access is by category, and every category is nominated by an organisation rather than by the individual.
| Category | Nominated by |
|---|---|
| Party delegates | The Party's own competent authority or national focal point |
| Observer States | The State's designated authority |
| United Nations bodies and specialised agencies | The organisation itself |
| Admitted intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) | The admitted organisation |
| Admitted non-governmental organisations (NGOs) | The admitted organisation |
| Media | The accredited media organisation, through the media accreditation process |
If your organisation is not already admitted as an observer, admission is a separate process from registration and runs on its own cycle — the UNFCCC observer organisations page is the authority on eligibility and admission.
How the Process Works
Organisation registration
The nominating body — Party, observer organisation, UN body or media organisation — is set up in the system.
Participant nomination
The organisation nominates individuals through the Online Registration System, within its own quota.
Confirmation by the nominee
Nominated individuals receive an automated notification, then verify their personal details and upload a photograph.
UNFCCC approval
UNFCCC reviews and approves nominations against the applicable rules.
Notification and badge
Approved participants are notified, and badges are issued through the official process at no charge.
Nomination and confirmation deadlines differ by participant category and are published by UNFCCC. They also move. This page deliberately does not restate specific dates as fixed — check the official participant information page and the observer organisations page for the current deadlines that apply to you.
Badges and Access
- Badges are personal and non-transferable; access to conference zones follows the badge category.
- The photograph and personal details you confirm during nomination are what appear on the badge, so confirm them carefully.
- Lost badge procedures, collection points and zone rules are published by the organisers — follow those rather than third-party summaries.
- Venue access rules govern what suppliers, contractors and crew can do inside controlled areas, and depend on accreditation your organisation holds.
- Visa requirements are separate from accreditation and depend on nationality — start them early, not once your badge is confirmed.
What We Can Help With After Registration
Accreditation is the one thing we cannot help with. Everything after it is what we do.
Transport
Airport arrivals, hotel–venue movement and dedicated vehicles for the conference period.
Exhibition and pavilion support
Build, graphics, furniture, AV, storage and on-site support for a physical presence.
Event services
Side events, meeting rooms, production, staffing and hospitality around the official programme.
Printing and collateral
Delegation material produced locally, including reprints during the conference.
Urgent local support
Fast local sourcing when something is missing, delayed or damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for COP31?
Registration is managed by UNFCCC through its Online Registration System. You are nominated by your Party, observer organisation, UN body or accredited media organisation, then confirm your details and are approved by UNFCCC.
Can DmcTurkeyPartner register us for COP31?
No. Registration and accreditation are handled exclusively by UNFCCC and the official COP31 bodies. We support accommodation, transport, production, staffing and local logistics once you are accredited.
Does COP31 registration cost anything?
UNFCCC states that registration formalities, including badge issuance for duly nominated participants, are free of charge. Treat any offer to sell accreditation as a warning sign.
What is the ORS?
The UNFCCC Online Registration System — the platform through which organisations register, nominate participants, and through which nominees confirm their details and receive approval.
How do observer organisations register?
Admitted intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations nominate participants through the ORS within their allocated quota. Admission as an observer organisation is a separate process from registration — the UNFCCC observer organisations page is the authority.
What are the registration deadlines?
Deadlines differ by participant category and are published by UNFCCC. Because they change, this page does not restate them as fixed — check the official participant information and observer organisations pages for the current dates.
Do I need a visa as well as a badge?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality and are entirely separate from conference accreditation. Check them early rather than after your badge is confirmed.
Can our contractors access the venue?
Venue access for suppliers and crew is governed by the organisers' rules and depends on accreditation your organisation holds. We work within those rules and coordinate with your accredited team.
