Citizen Registration
Why Register?
Subscribe to Warden message vs. Registration
You may already be receiving our monthly newsletters and warden messages which we send by e-mail to notify you of important events and news. To subscribe to our free newsletter, you need provide us only your e-mail address: http://www.asktheconsul.org/
Whether you are or are not subscribing to our newsletter, we encourage you register with the Embassy. Registration is a voluntary way of telling us that you, as an American Citizen, are in Korea -- whether for a long-term staty or for a short term visit. In the event of an emergency, we use registration information to communicate with you. This could include a family emergency where relatives in the US request that the Embassy contact you.
The State Department 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.
We invite you to register yourself and your family and get acquainted with travel registration. If you are already registered with the Embassy in Seoul, 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. 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.
U.S. citizens around the world who travel or reside abroad can register at https://travelregistration.state.gov/ For American Citizen Services (ACS) inquiries, please e-mail us at: seoul_acs@state.gov.
ACS may also be contacted by telephone at 02-397-4114 or by fax at 02-397-4101.
