Embassy of the United States

If you are going to live in or travel to Argentina, please let us know through the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). STEP is a free service offered by the U.S. Department of State that allows U.S. citizens to record information about any upcoming trip abroad. With this information, we can keep you up to date with the latest local safety and security announcements, as well as help contact your family and friends in case of emergency. Remember, in accordance with the Privacy Act, the Department of State will never share or release information on your welfare and whereabouts without your expressed authorization.

Why Enroll

Millions of U.S. citizens travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.

How to Enroll

You can enroll from home before you travel or from any location with internet access. Visit the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment page today to quickly and easily enter your trip or update any information.
