More than 12,000 journalists work in the Netherlands and around 10,000 of these are members of the journalists’ union Nederlandse Vereniging van Journalisten (NVJ). The official press pass is available to journalists who have been members of the NVJ for at least three months. The NVJ Press Card id issued to full-time and part-time journalists. And in addition, a police press pass can be obtained from the Foundation Press Card National Police.
