Information for Travelers
Registration
It is recommended all Americans in Mozambique register their trip with the U.S. Embassy. Registering assists the Embassy in providing you with vital information in the case of an emergency or disaster. Registered Americans will also receive periodic Emergency Messages (usually via e-mail) from the Embassy regarding safety and security in the country and other pertinent information. It is important to provide as much local contact information as possible, such as your email address and a local phone number. It is also important to let us know where you will be in Mozambique so in the event of an emergency we can locate you to assist.
We also recommend U.S. citizens have a copy of their passport biographical page and Mozambican visa notarized by a Mozambican notary. These can be used as proof of your identity and legal presence in Mozambique.

Emergency Messages for U.S. Citizens
The Consular Section distributes occasional messages to alert U.S. citizens of events or information relevant to the American community in Mozambique. These Warden Messages are usually delivered via e-mail. Click here to see the most recent Emergency Messages. The Consular Section also maintains the Country Specific Information (CSI) which is available on the Department of State website for any traveler to Mozambique. Click here to see the current CSI.
Warden System
The Consular Section maintains a warden system to be activated in the case of an emergency. Wardens are Americans who volunteer to act as a focal point for the American community in their respective province by relaying important information in the case of an emergency. Because of the continuous turn-over of Americans resident in Mozambique, we are always looking for new wardens or back-up wardens. If you are interested in volunteering to be a warden, please contact the Consular Section.
Crime Victims' Assistance
The Consular Section provides assistance to victims of crime in Mozambique. Please contact the Consular Section if you are a victim of crime in Mozambique. We can help you seek medical care, file a police report, facilitate obtaining emergency funds from home and obtain a new passport, if yours is stolen.
