It is important for Americans traveling to or residing in Iraq to register with the U.S. Embassy. Registration information is protected by the Privacy Act (5 USC 552a) and is not shared with anyone unless the registrant authorizes a release.
Registration enables the Embassy to assist Americans who lose their passports to obtain a replacement, and to provide essential information during emergencies such as evacuations.
Registration may be done in person at the Embassy Sundays through Thursdays between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. You must bring your original U.S. passport or fax a copy. You are advised to provide a U.S. contact, as well as your local address and telephone number.
Americans may also register online through the Department of State's secure Internet-Based Registration System. This 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. This 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 with your permission under the provisions of the privacy act.
We invite you to register yourself and your family and get acquainted with travel registration. If you are already registered with this Embassy, please re-register on line to update your records.
