Public Announcement
New and Improved Consular Affairs Website
July 15, 2004
U.S. Department of State

The State Department recently launched a new and much improved consular website, https://travelregistration.state.gov. The website's appearance, usability and functionality have all been enhanced, and it has improved organization and navigational tools to help users find information more quickly and accurately.

An important new function is secure online travel registration which will allow you, as an American citizen, to record foreign trip and residence information that the Department of State can use to communicate with you and assist you in case of an emergency.

U.S. citizens around the world who travel or reside abroad can access this site either through a link on travel.state.gov, or directly, at https://travelregistration.state.gov. We invite you to register yourself and your family and get acquainted with travel registration.

The new internet travel registration service for American citizens allows you to register 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 with your permission under the provisions of the Privacy Act.

Please let us know how you like the new site. If you encounter any difficulties or have any questions about our travel registration website, send an e-mail to caibrs@state.gov. If you have specific questions about your registration with this embassy please contact us at acsinfomanila@state.gov.
