Information for Travelers

Register with the Embassy

Don't be a Stranger - Register!

If you're going to be in Bangladesh for any extended period of time, please register with us. Registration is to your advantage in that it will enable us to locate you in case of a family emergency, and it helps keep us better informed of the number and location of American citizens in the event of a large-scale emergency such as an earthquake or flood. We are required by law to keep any information you give us completely confidential, and will release it ONLY when authorized by you to do so.

Those registered with the ACS unit will also be added to the Embassy’s Warden System. The Warden System is a phone, e-mail, and fax system, which alerts American citizens about emergencies or security concerns in Bangladesh, which may affect them.
