Information for Travelers
REGISTRATION
The Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi urges U.S. citizens visiting or residing in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to register with the U.S. Embassy. Visitors and residents of Abu Dhabi (including Al Ain) are asked to please register with the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
In the event of an emergency, the Embassy will provide information and other critical assistance to American citizens. Registration is the only way to guarantee that the Embassy is aware of your presence in the country and is able to contact you and assist you in such circumstances.
The State Department recently launched a secure online travel registration website 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/ibrs. We invite you to register yourself and your family and get acquainted with travel registration. If you are already registered with the Embassy, please re-register on line to update your records.
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 under the provisions of the Privacy Act. A Privacy Act waiver is included in the online registration form.
Let us know how you like the new site. If you encounter any difficulties or have any questions about our travel registration website, please send an e-mail to CAIbrs@state.gov. If you have specific questions about your registration with the Embassy, please contact us at abudhabiacs@state.gov.
