Registration and The Privacy Act

In accordance with the Privacy Act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1974, the Embassy cannot release any information about you without your written consent.

The Internet travel registration service at

http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/registration/registration_1186.html  for American citizens allows you to register and update your contact information on the Internet, making it easier for you to keep your information current.  The site also provides up-to-date travel information customized to your unique travel agenda and itinerary.  The 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 under the provisions of the Privacy Act.

We encourage you to register yourself and your family, and pass the word about this site to other American citizens in Kuwait who may not be aware of the registration process and this convenient website.

American citizens also may register in person by coming with their passport to the American Citizen Services Unit, Consular Section, from 9 AM to 11 AM and from 1 PM to 3 PM on Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; on Sundays from 1 PM to 3 PM.

Please note that the Consular Section is closed for American and most local holidays.  The current list of holiday schedule may be viewed via the link below:  http://kuwait.usembassy.gov/holidays.html
