Smart Traveler Enrollment Program

The Department of State recently launched a new version of the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). STEP is a free service for U.S. citizens traveling or living abroad to receive safety and security alerts and other local updates by email from the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. The updated STEP platform allows users to use a login.gov account to customize subscriptions and receive country-specific alerts during the timeframe of their choice. Users can now enroll multiple trips or locations at once and can modify subscriptions or unsubscribe at any time.
