Smart Travel Enrollment Program

The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service provided by the U.S. Government to Americans who are traveling or living in a foreign country. Enrollment allows you to record information about your upcoming trip abroad that the Department of State can use to assist you in case of an emergency. You may update your contact information at any time, making it easy to keep your information current. Americans living abroad can also get routine information from the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Click here or visit the following web site at https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/go/step.html/ to enroll yourself and your family and update your information. 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.

If you encounter any difficulties or have any questions about the travel enrollment website, please send an email to CAibrs@state.gov.
