Re-enroll in The New Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) : 2025-06-12

Last Updated: 2025-06-12

U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia are encouraged to register for STEP.  If you have not registered in the past 9 months, please re-enroll to ensure you receive the latest updates.

The new STEP platform allows you to use a login.gov account to customize your subscriptions and receive country-specific email alerts during the timeframe of your choice. You can enroll multiple trips or locations at once and can modify your subscriptions or unenroll at any time.

Enrolling in STEP makes it easier for the nearest U.S embassy or consulate to contact you during an emergency and send you safety and security alerts. We strongly encourage all U.S. citizens traveling or living abroad to enroll or re-enroll today to take advantage of new functionality.

Actions to Take: 

• If you have not already re-registered, visit state.gov    to enroll in the updated STEP to set your preferences and continue receiving alerts and messages from the U.S. embassy.  Links are available on our website under Emergency Information for American Citizens, using the link for “Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).”  Click here: https://mytravel.state.gov/s/step  
• Encourage friends and family traveling or living internationally to enroll in STEP. Travelers may choose to sign up for alerts for individual trips or to receive alerts long-term for specific countries where they or their loved ones are visiting or residing.
• Follow the State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs on social media (@travelgov) as well as the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
