Registering with us
We have set up a new improved online registration service called LOCATE for British nationals travelling or living abroad to register themselves with the FCO.
In order to use LOCATE, you will need to register separately. But you will only need to register once. British nationals who are either resident in or visiting any country abroad, whether for business or pleasure, should register their details online. The registration details will remain on LOCATE. Details of your visits or residence abroad will not remain after their end date. LOCATE will accept details of travel abroad up to one year ahead. Please note that an existing subscription to the FCO's Online Services will not allow access to LOCATE.
We are confident that this new service 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.

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
- if family and friends need to get in touch with you we can help them to find you.
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.
