Embassy of the United States

Register with Us

The Embassy urges all American citizens, even those visiting Thailand for a short time, to register with the Embassy’s Consular Section.  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. 

American citizens may register online at https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs. Registration is for American citizens only. The registration system 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.

The Embassy’s primary means of communication with American citizens in Thailand during an emergency is our warden system.  The warden system consists of American citizens who volunteer to disseminate information passed on from time to time by the Embassy to other American citizens in the country.  We also distribute this information directly via e-mail to any American citizen who asks to be included in our warden notification network by registering with us online.  To see recent messages sent under the warden system, please, click here.
