Registering with the U.S. Department of State

In addition to securing a visa, all U.S. students (citizens as well as permanent residents) are required to register themselves with the U.S. Embassy in Spain before departure from the U.S.  In the event of international, political, or family emergencies, or in the event that a passport is lost or stolen, the U.S. Embassy will be much better able to assist registered students.  Please visit the Department of State’s website and follow the links to register.

Registration is fast and costs nothing.  Please print two copies of the confirmation page after you have registered — leave one copy at home and take one copy with you.  Students of other nationalities should check to see if it is possible to register with your Embassy in Spain.
