Information for Travelers

REGISTRATION VIA INTERNET

The State Department recently launched 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 on http://travel.state.gov or directly at https://travelregistration.state.gov. We invite you to register yourself and your family and get acquainted with travel registration. If you are already registered with this Embassy/Consulate, please re-register on line to update your records.

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.

You can also come by to register (94K PDF file) personally with us and give us permission to keep your family and friends informed about you (65K PDF file). All you have to do is sign two forms - it's free and takes only a few minutes. If you are registered, please encourage friends and other new arrivals to do so also online and personally at the Consulate if they desire.

Note: In order to access PDF forms, the user needs to have Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be acquired by clicking on the following link: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
