The forms can be returned by mail to the Centre on the 26th floor of Wanchai Tower, 12 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, or by fax on 2519 8903. Late applications will normally not be considered.
All applicants will be notified of the result of accreditation through their media organisations, or individually as in the case of free-lancers.
"To avoid delay in processing the applications, it is important that an applicant types or prints in block letters on all the blanks on the form where applicable," said a spokesman for the HCCO.
"If an applicant fails to comply with these requirements, we may not be able to process further his or her application," the spokesman noted.
He also explained that only accredited media personnel would be allowed entry into the Press and Broadcast Centre to be set up by the Government to facilitate media coverage of the Handover and related events.
Due to space constraints, he said only a limited number of accredited media representatives would be allowed to cover from the event venues. Details will be announced later.
Enquiries on media accreditation can be made on 2582 3081, 2582 3083, 2582 3055 or 2582 3097.

Welfare payment advanced for public holiday
Recipients of Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) under the bank payment system will receive their payments on Friday (April 4) if their pay day falls on the coming Ching Ming Festival (Saturday, April 5), which is a public holiday.
"Special payment arrangements will also be made for recipients of Social Security Allowance whose pay days fall on that day," a Social Welfare Department spokesman said today (Wednesday).
