Registering Your Travel in Kenya
The Department of State has no greater responsibility than the welfare and protection of U.S. citizens' abroad. U.S. citizens are encouraged to register with U.S. Embassies and Consulates when traveling overseas.
Why Register?
The Consular Section of US Embassy Nairobi maintains files of registered Americans and uses these lists to maintain a warden system to rapidly disseminate information in case of an emergency. Registering with the Embassy also facilitates the transmission of information to you in case of a family emergency; the verification of your citizenship and identity if your passport is lost or stolen; and Embassy response in case of a disaster.
Note: The information in these files is protected by the Privacy Act and cannot be shared without your permission, even to family members, unless you authorize it or in life or death emergency situations.
