Enroll /Email Updates
 

The Department of State encourages all U.S. citizens living or travelling in a foreign country to click here to enroll with your local Embassy or Consulate.  Enrollment helps the Embassy provide important services such as:

  • Locating individuals in cases of family or personal emergencies,
  • Relaying important travel and safety information about the region,
  • Arranging evacuation transportation in cases of natural disaster or civil unrest,
  • Issuing replacement passports when originals are lost, and
  • A number of other administrative services relating to personal documentation.

Without the information provided through enrollment, the Embassy is severely hindered in its ability to provide these services.  Many of these services involve emergency situations and time constraints, therefore failure to enroll will almost certainly lead to delays at moments when you can least afford them.

Both short-term visitors and long-term residents, who have already established their U.S. citizenship (i.e. born in the United States, who have been previously issued a passport, consular report of birth, naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship) can sign up on-line. On-line enrollment cannot serve to establish a person’s claim to U.S. citizenship.  The principal purpose of such an enrollment is to provide information, which could be useful in providing emergency consular services if need should arise.
