We encourage all British Nationals travelling and living overseas to register with the Foreign Office LOCATE service, even for short trips.

Benefits of registering with LOCATE?

• if a major catastrophe occurs we’ll have an instant record of your details so we can contact you to make sure you’re OK and provide advice

We’re confident LOCATE will improve our ability to provide help in crisis situations and reduce delay and worry in times of stress for family and friends at home.

How do I register with LOCATE?

You will need to complete a short registration form. You only need to register for the service once and then update your account when you make a new trip abroad. You can even add planned trips abroad up to a year ahead. For the registration form and further information, please see the LOCATE information page of the FCO website.
