Tip #19: REGISTER AT YOUR HOME EMBASSY PRIOR TO TRAVEL (STEP)
The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service to allow U.S. citizens and nationals traveling and living abroad to enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Here are four good reasons to sign up:
1. Receive important information from the Embassy about safety conditions in your destination country, helping you make informed decisions about your travel plans.
2. Help the U.S. Embassy contact you in an emergency, whether natural disaster, civil unrest, or family emergency.
3. With your account, your passport and identification information will be securely stored making it easier for American Embassies to assist you in the event your passport is lost, stolen, or destroyed.
4. Help family and friends get in touch with you in an emergency.
