Smart Traveler Program

To enroll log on to the Smart Traveler Program (STEP)

The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service provided by the U.S. Government to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign country.

STEP allows you to enter information about your upcoming trip abroad so that the Department of State can better assist you in an emergency.

STEP also allows Americans residing abroad to get routine information from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

Enrolling in the program ensures the receipt of notices, alerts and information from the State Department about travel to a particular country or region of the world.
