Professional Verification Status Flags
Before you may apply or register for WonderCon Anaheim, you must first determine your professional verification status. All professional applicants fall into one of two categories: First-Time Applicant or Returning Professional. To determine your category, log in to your Comic-Con Member ID account. If you are a returning professional, your member class will be “Professional” and your professional verification status will be “DUE” or “NOT DUE” (see examples to the left.) If you are a first-time professional applicant, no professional verification status will be displayed.
If your Professional Verification Status is NOT DUE: Simply log in to your Comic-Con Member ID account and select the WonderCon Anaheim “Click to request your badge now” link. Be sure to register your guest badge(s) when you submit the online request form. You cannot return to the online registration system at a later date to request guest badges. The deadline to register your badge was March 7, 2013.
If your Professional Verification Status is DUE or you are applying as a professional for the first time: You must fill out a “Comic-Con and WonderCon Anaheim Application for Professionals” and submit the required verification materials by February 22, 2013. The application and required documents can be found below in the “Comic-Con and WonderCon Anaheim Professional Information” PDF.
Each verified professional may request a complimentary WonderCon Anaheim 2013 badge for up to two guests. Guest badges are limited, and not all guests can be accommodated. Professional guest badges may be used to register up to two adults. Junior guests and children (age 17 and under) are free with a professional badge and do not count toward your guest limit. Junior and child badges must be registered onsite at the WonderCon Anaheim Professional Registration Area in HALL E. There will be no onsite registration for adult professionals.

WonderCon Anaheim Professional Terms & Conditions
The only way to apply for a professional badge is to submit a “Comic-Con and WonderCon Anaheim Application for Professionals,” and verification materials and be approved by Comic-Con International before the deadline date. Professionals must provide verification materials demonstrating their continued qualifying work in the industry every three years.
Professional verification and approval is ultimately at the discretion of Comic-Con International.
Comic-Con International (CCI) / WonderCon Anaheim (WCA) strongly recommends that you email your professional application and verification materials. Should you choose to mail in your application and verification materials, we suggest that you send them via FedEx, UPS, USPS certified mail, or any service that provides a delivery receipt. CCI/WCA is not responsible for lost applications and/or materials that were sent without tracking or delivery confirmation.
A WonderCon Anaheim professional badge is good for entry to all of the events held at WonderCon Anaheim (space permitting). The WonderCon Anaheim professional badge, however, does not allow for early entry into the Exhibit Hall, programming rooms, events, or guaranteed seating. Please keep in mind that professional registration is a courtesy and your WonderCon Anaheim professional badge is non-transferable. You may not transfer or sell your WonderCon Anaheim professional badge.
As always, the issuance of a professional badge is at the sole discretion of Comic-Con International/ WonderCon Anaheim
