U.S. Citizen Services
The U.S. Embassy encourages all U.S. citizens who are residents in, or traveling through Tunisia to register with the ACS Section. Registering creates a record at the US Embassy, which could be very helpful if you need to replace a lost, stolen or expired passport, or if we need to contact you in an emergency.
The State Department recently launched a secure online travel registration website which will allow you, as an American citizen, to record foreign trip and residence information that the Department of State can use to communicate with you and assist you in case of an emergency
You may also register in person at the consular section or by fax. Please send your fax to 216-1-71-964-360. Your fax should include the following information:
Name
Date and Place of Birth
Passport number
Place of passport issuance
Date of passport issuance
Local address and telephone number in Tunisia
Intended length of stay
Name and telephone number of person to contact in case of emergency
A copy of the bio/photo page of your passport
In accordance with the Privacy Act, the Embassy cannot release any information about you that is not in the public domain without your written consent. Therefore, we request that you include the following statement with your fax:
"I hereby authorize the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia and the Department of State to release of information concerning my welfare and whereabouts in Tunisia to family members, friends, members of Congress, the press and the general public" (strike out any which do not apply).
Please sign and date your fax. The information you provide will be used in emergencies.
