General Information
Registration of American Citizens with the Consulate
When you travel or move overseas, it is important to register with the embassy or consulate. The Department of State can provide you with important information related to your travel plans, safety, and practical matters such as voting abroad. We strongly recommend that all U.S. citizens make a point of registering with their nearest embassy or consulate.
Registering On-line
The State Department has 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 follow this link to the State Department's Travel.State.Gov Travel Registration website. We invite you to register yourself and your family and get acquainted with travel registration. If you are already registered with the Consulate, 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.
You can continue to register in person as well. To do so, please visit the Consulate at 27 Nablus Road in Jerusalem or contact us via e-mail. If you register via e-mail, please include your U.S. passport number, as well as date and place of issuance, your date and place of birth, your contact information as well as emergency contact information and the duration of your stay. You are advised to provide a U.S. contact as well as your local address and telephone number. You can register via e-mail at JerusalemACS@state.gov. Protecting Your Privacy
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.
