Overseas Assistance

Members traveling abroad, or with relatives overseas, sometimes need help from the U.S. government. This one-page guide explains where to turn.

• Before or during travel, register with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) so the U.S. embassy can reach you in an emergency.
• In an emergency, call 1-888-407-4747 from the U.S. or Canada, or +1-202-501-4444 from overseas, or contact the nearest U.S. embassy.
• American Citizen Services at embassies and consulates can replace lost passports, provide lists of local lawyers and doctors and, in exceptional cases, help with repatriation. See travel.state.gov.
• Visa questions for a spouse or fiancé(e) go to the consular section of the embassy, e.g. Islamabad or New Delhi.
