Embassy of the United States

Registration with the Consulate

The Department of State has no greater responsibility than the welfare and protection of U.S. Citizens abroad.  Therefore, we encourage you to register with your nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  Registration will make your presence and whereabouts known in case it is necessary to contact you in an emergency and enable you to receive up-to-date information on security conditions.

On-line Registration  

The State Department manages a secure online travel registration website which will allow you, as an American citizen, to record foreign trip and residence information that the Department of State can use to communicate with you and assist you in case of an emergency.

U.S. citizens around the world who travel or reside abroad can access this site either through a link from http://travel.state.gov/ or directly at https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs.  We invite you to register yourself and your family and get acquainted with travel registration.  

The new Internet travel registration service for American citizens allows you to register and update your contact information on the Internet at any time, making it easier for you to keep your information current. The site also provides you with up-to-date travel information customized to your unique travel agenda and itinerary.  The data you provide is secured behind Department of State firewalls, accessed only by cleared personnel in Embassies, Consulates, and the Department of State, and releasable only under the provisions of the Privacy Act.
