Registration with the Embassy
Registering with the U.S. Embassy makes your presence and whereabouts known. A consular officer can contact you in an emergency, and you can also receive updates on critical country specific information. But we cannot help you if we do not know where you are.
On-line registration is quick and easy. Click here to begin.
In accordance with the Privacy Act, information on your welfare or whereabouts may not be released without your expressed written authorization.
To assist in emergency circumstances we recommend that you leave a copy of your itinerary with someone in the United States. Please also see our Consular Information Sheet for the Russian Federation..
