Register
your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country.
Millions of Americans 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. |
