Information for Travelers

Registration with Embassies

U.S. citizens living or traveling in Sudan are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov.   U.S. citizens without internet access may register directly with the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum.    

What is Travel Registration?
Travel registration is a free service provided by the U.S. Government to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign country. Registration allows you to record information about your travel abroad that the Department of State can use to assist you in case of an emergency. Americans residing abroad can also get routine information from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

Why should I register?
Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. Embassies and Cnsulates 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.
