Embassy Registration – Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)
All program participants who are U.S. citizens must register at the U.S. Embassy before departing for Germany as this will help in case of a lost passport or other mishap. You can register on-line at: https://mytravel.state.gov/s/step
If you are not a U.S. citizen, please register at your home country’s embassy or consulate.
Michigan State University as well as University of Iowa students do not have to register themselves with the Embassy, as the MSU Office of Study Abroad and UI Study Abroad do it for them.
