When traveling or living abroad, it is a good idea to take part in the Travel Registration Program offered by the State Department. When you sign up, you will automatically receive the most current information about the country where you will be traveling or living. The travel and contact information you enter into our Travel Registration program will make it easier for consular officers in U.S. embassies and consulates around the world to contact you and your loved ones during an emergency—including situations where your family or friends in the U.S. are having problems trying to contact you with important news. You can sign up on the State Department website.
