Enroll with Smart Traveler (STEP)

If you are an American citizen, even if you are visiting Cambodia for a short time, you are encouraged to enroll with the Embassy’s Consular Section.  If there is an emergency, we will provide information and other critical assistance to American citizens.  Enrollment is the only way to guarantee that we know about your presence in the country and are able to contact you and assist you in such circumstances.

You may enroll online through the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). Enrollment is for American citizens only. STEP allows you to enter 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.

Our primary way of communicating with you in Cambodia during an emergency is our warden system.  The warden system consists of American citizens who volunteer to disseminate information passed on from time to time by the Embassy to other American citizens in the country.  We also distribute this information directly via e-mail to any American citizen who asks to be included in our warden notification network by registering with us online.  To see recent messages sent under the warden system, please click here.

The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program replaces our earlier registration system.
