2. Accreditation
2.1 Definition and function of Accreditation
In accordance with Rule 52 of the 2011 Olympic Charter, the Olympic Identity and
Accreditation Card (OIAC) confers on its holder the right to perform his/her function at an
Olympic Games. This card, produced and issued by Sochi 2014 performs two functions. It:
— establishes the identity of its holder; and
— constitutes a document, accompanied by a valid passport, authorising multiple
entries for its registered holder into Russia between
7 January 2014 and 16 April 2014.
The OIAC permits access to Olympic Winter Games venues only after it has been validated
upon arrival in Sochi. Once the OIAC has been validated, it becomes the official Games
accreditation card for the bearer throughout the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games period.
Pre-Valid Cards can be validated up until and including the day of the Closing Ceremony on
23 February 2014.
2.2 General guidelines
• Your organization is responsible for registering every potential member of your delegation
by 1 October 2013. This deadline will allow the Russian Federation Government, other
relevant authorities and Sochi 2014 adequate time to verify data prior to the Games.
• Your organization’s legal representative must sign the Organizational Consent Form
before any applications can be submitted.
• Sochi 2014 Accreditation strongly recommends electronic submission of the
Accreditation Application forms.
• All applicants whose data is received by 1 October 2013 will be eligible to receive a Pre-
Valid Card. Pre-Valid Cards will be produced after the completion of your data review, in
December 2013.
• You must submit a recent high-quality colour digital image (refer to section 3.7) for every
member of your delegation. Applications submitted without photos by the deadline will
not be eligible to receive a Pre-Valid Card.
• Prior to issuing Pre-Valid Cards, Sochi 2014 Accreditation will work closely with each
organization to finalise the list of delegates who are eligible to receive accreditation.
• Any Pre-Valid Card that is received but will not be used must be returned to Sochi 2014
Accreditation.
• For an International Federation representative a Pre-Valid Card cannot be validated
without the corresponding signed Eligibility Conditions Form.
• Individuals whose accreditation data arrives after the deadline will not receive a Pre-Valid
Card and will need to follow normal visa procedure to enter and work in the Russian
Federation. Please visit the Russian Federal Migration Service website for more details
http://www.fms.gov.ru/documents/viza/index_eng.php.

2.3 Entering Russia before OIAC acts as an entry visa
Members of a Responsible Organization delegation who require entry into Russia before 7
January 2014, have to comply with the regular procedures concerning entering the Russian
Federation by foreign citizens. Please visit the Russian Federal Migration Service website
for more details
http://www.fms.gov.ru/documents/viza/index_eng.php. Obtained visas (if applicable) do not
replace the OIAC and the Olympic Games Family members still need to apply for an OIAC
through their Responsible Organization.
2.4 Acceptable forms of identification
For non-Russian citizens the only acceptable form of identification for the Sochi 2014
Olympic Winter Games is passport (international passport).
For Russian citizens:
• Born before the 1st of July, 1999, only Russian domestic passport is acceptable.
• Born after the 1st of July, 1999, either Russian domestic passport or birth certificate is
acceptable.
No other forms of Identification document can be accepted.
All identification documents used to submit the accreditation data and to validate the OIAC
must be valid until at least 16 October 2014.

3. Submitting accreditation information
3.1 Submission options
Your organization has two options for submitting accreditation applications:
• Online single application. e-Accreditation (ECR) is the web application that allows your
organization to submit accreditation applications directly to Sochi 2014 Accreditation,
or save either complete or incomplete records to your account for completion and/or
submission at a later date. Saved but not submitted records will not be sent to Sochi 2014
and as such will not be accepted until the record has been submitted to Sochi 2014. After
1 October 2013 access to the ECR system will be restricted to a read-only basis. To edit
or submit any applications after this time, you will need to request temporary submission
access through Sochi 2014 Accreditation.
An explanation on the completion of the online single application can be found in
section 3.2.1.
• Bulk upload template. The ECR system will also allow your organization to submit
accreditation applications via a bulk upload process. If you have your own database, you can
export this information into a template provided by Sochi 2014 (with specific formatting) and
submit applications in bulk via ECR. If you wish to use the bulk upload template, you must
notify Sochi 2014 Accreditation via the User Account Application Form. An explanation on
the completion of the bulk upload template can be found in section 3.2.2.
3.2 Logging into the ECR system
During the process of your account creation you will receive two separate emails. The first
email will be a confirmation of your username and password and the second email will be a
confirmation that your account is ready to use. Your account will not be active until you receive
the second email. Once you receive the second email you will be able to log onto the online
accreditation system at https://eacr.sochi2014.com. We recommend that you log on to the
system as soon as you receive the second email to check that your username and password are
working correctly.

3.6 Submitting and saving records using the ECR
single application method
Once you have completed an application you can click on the Submit button at the bottom
of the screen. This will send the information to Sochi 2014 Accreditation. If, however, you
only have partial information for an applicant you can still enter the information you have
and save this record to your account. This saved record can then be retrieved at any time
until the deadline and completed and submitted to Sochi 2014 Accreditation. The Save
function can be extremely helpful and is a great tool for managing your information.
Please remember that Sochi 2014 Accreditation will not process saved applications.
Only completed and submitted applications will be processed. No Pre-Valid Cards will be
created for saved records.
If you need to complete the missing data to the saved record after 1 October 2013 (when
ECR access will be read-only), you will need to request temporary submission access from
Sochi 2014 Accreditation to submit this application.
3.7 Submitting a photo via ECR
Once you have entered, saved or submitted a record (via ECR single application or bulk
upload), you will be able to attach a digital image to this record.
Photos must be named in the following format (familyname_idnumber), where idnumber
is the number of the identification document used in the application for accreditation. This
will allow you to ensure that the photo is attached to the correct record.
Example: IVANOV_6906234856.jpg
Photograph requirements for OIACs
Digital images must follow these requirements:
1. A color (not black and white) passport style photograph
(width-to-height ratio 4x5).

4. Data verification
Data verification is the responsibility of your organization. The purpose of data verification is to
ensure that your delegation’s accreditation information is correct. You can use the tools below —
Data Query, Reports and Data Export — to review the data. If any updates are required after the
1 October 2013 deadline, you must inform Sochi 2014 Accreditation so that this information can
be corrected.
4.1 Data Query
Select Data Query from the Participants Menu of the main screen to search your saved and
submitted records for specific information. By entering information into any of the fields on the
Data Query screen, you can search for any saved or submitted records that meet the search
criteria (see Figure 7).
Example – Enter “Stewart” in the Family Name field, and click Search; the ECR system will show
all records with the family name Stewart. By further selecting “IOC GUEST” in the Main Function
field, the ECR system will show all Sochi 2014 Guests with the surname Stewart from your
saved or submitted records. You can narrow the search to Saved or Submitted records only by
checking the appropriate box.
After you have completed your search, you can click on a record in the search results panel and
edit the information as needed (see Figure 7).

5. Pre-Valid Card production,
delivery and distribution
5.1 Production and delivery of Pre-Valid Cards
Sochi 2014 Accreditation will start production of the Pre-Valid Cards by November 2013, after
data verification. By end of December 2013, Sochi 2014 Accreditation will send Pre-Valid Cards
to your organization.
Your Responsible Organization is responsible for distributing the Pre-Valid Cards to eligible
members of your delegation. Presented together with the bearer’s valid identification document
used for the Accreditation Application at a port of entry into the Russian Federation, the PreValid Card allows the bearer entry into Russia to perform his/her function during the Games
time from 7 January 2014 (or on receipt of Pre-Valid Card if after this date) to 16 April 2014.
Only participants whose Accreditation Application was received by Sochi 2014 by 1 October
2013 will be eligible to receive a Pre-Valid Card. All participants who are registered after this
date will need to follow the standard visa procedures for entry into the Russian Federation for
the Olympic Winter Games.
5.2 Confirmation of receipt of Pre-Valid Cards
Confirmation of Receipt will be included in a package containing your Pre-Valid Cards. Sign, scan
and email this Confirmation of Receipt back to Sochi 2014 Accreditation at
[email protected] immediately upon receiving the Pre-Valid Cards. You also
have the option of faxing the Confirmation of Receipt to +7 862 445 50 05.
5.3 Distribution of Pre-Valid Cards to participants
The Pre-Valid Card is an important document, and as such your organization must take great
care to ensure that each participant receives his/her card safely and that it is intact and
undamaged upon arrival. It is your responsibility to ensure the successful distribution of your
Pre-Valid Cards. Your cooperation with this distribution is essential to facilitate the arrival
process and avoid any potential delays.
5.4 Lost, stolen or damaged Pre-Valid Cards
If a Pre-Valid Card is lost, stolen or damaged before or after entry into the Russia, Sochi 2014
Accreditation must immediately be informed in order for the card to be cancelled in the system.
The applicant will not be deleted from the system, but he/she must visit a primary accreditation
center to have his/her OIAC issued after arriving in Russia. The applicant will also need to follow
the standard immigration requirements for entry into the Russian Federation for the Olympic
Winter Games.
Any Pre-Valid Cards received, but not used for Games participation, must be returned to Sochi
2014 and should not be used for travel.

5.5 Nominative Transferable Accreditations
International Federations (IF) on the Games Program and Olympic Partners are entitled to
Transferable Accreditation. This allows an accreditation to be transferred from one participant
to another during the course of the Games, while maintaining the set quota in that category for
the organization.
The application for participants who receive Transferable Accreditation must be made and
submitted in exactly the same manner, and with the same deadline (1 October 2013) as for
other accreditation categories. During the Games, only after the original OIAC is cancelled in the
system can the following participant’s Pre-Valid Card be validated (see Table 7).
Please note, that the accredited person should keep the cancelled OIAC as it is needed to exit
the Russian Federation.

5.7 Substitution and multiple roles
Individuals are entitled to an accreditation according to their role at the Olympic Games. If the
individual does not attend the Olympic Games, his/her right to an accreditation cannot be given
to another person.
As an exception, for an IF on the Games program, whose President and/or Secretary
General is an IOC member or is not present at the Games, the Responsible Organization may
request accreditation for a member of the organization’s executive board in the appropriate
accreditation category (IF) and with the same rights and privileges agreed for that category.
For IFs not on the Games program no replacement is permitted.
Any person with multiple official functions at the Games may receive only one accreditation but
will have all access privileges combined to fulfill all legitimate roles.
5.8 Olympic Family Hotel Guest Passes
Sochi 2014 can issue Guest Passes to individuals (both accredited or not) who require access to
the Olympic Family Hotel (OFH) who ordinarily would not have access to the venue.

6.1 Entry requirements
A Pre-Valid Card or OIAC holder may enter Russia multiple times from 7 January 2014 up
to 16 April 2014 upon presentation of his/her Pre-Valid Card or OIAC and a valid passport
each time, without requiring a separate entry visa.
Individuals using their OIAC as a travel document to enter Russia must ensure that their
passport is valid until at least 16 October 2014 and that the details on their passport
match the information provided on their accreditation application.

coming to Russia via any other country are responsible for obtaining the necessary visa
for entry into that country.
6.1.1. Filling in Migration Card
The holders of OIAC must fill in a Migration Card. The entry (A) and exit (B) parts of the
Migration Card should be filled in personally by the foreign citizen using Russian or Latin

At points of entry into the Russian Federation, equipped with electronic migration card
systems (a list will be provided), holders of OIAC are not required to fill in a Migration
Card. This card will be filled in at border control by a border service employee.

6.2 Entry process for participants not
in possession of a Pre-Valid Card
Applicants whose information was submitted after 1 October 2013 will need to make their
own entry arrangements into Russia. After leaving the airport the applicant must visit the
Accreditation Center to obtain the OIAC.
6.3 Validation of the Pre-Valid Card
at Sochi International Airport
As of 7 January 2014 Pre-Valid Card holders from your delegation will be able to validate their
cards at Sochi International Airport upon arrival.
For an International Federation representative a Pre-Valid Card cannot be validated without the
corresponding signed Eligibility Conditions Form.
If this Form has not been returned before arrival, such Applicants have to sign the Eligibility
Conditions Form at one of the Accreditation Facilities and then have their cards validated. All the
Accreditation Facilities are operational as of 7 January 2014.
Applicants who have not validated their cards may still use the Games Transportation Service.
Pre-Valid Card holders whose privileges and/or information on the card have changed after
delivery will be required to go to a primary accreditation center to get their OIAC issued.
6.3.1 Accreditation Centers
The Accreditation Center at the Olympic Family Hotel in Sochi will serve as the primary accreditation
location for Olympic Family delegates. The center is operational as of 7 January 2014.
For Technical Officials, the primary accreditation center is the Uniform Distribution and
Accreditation Center (UDAC), operational as of 7 January 2014.
6.4 Lost, stolen or damaged OIACs

can be reissued.
• A lost or damaged OIAC will be cancelled in the accreditation system, and a lost OIAC will not
be reactivated even if found at a later date.
• The individual concerned must make a written, signed declaration, countersigned by an
authorized representative from your Responsible Organization. A lost OIAC will be reissued as
soon as possible after a declaration has been submitted.
