REGISTRATION OF BAHAMIAN NATIONALS TRAVELING OR RESIDING ABROAD
Bahamian nationals traveling or residing abroad should register at the nearest Bahamian Overseas Mission. Registration is particularly important in countries with a risk of natural disasters, political unrest, or criminal violence. It allows Consular staff to be located and assist Bahamian nationals in cases of emergency.
In the event of political unrest, criminal violence, natural disaster, or other emergencies, please contact the nearest Bahamian Overseas Mission. The consular staff can keep you informed of developments, help you contact your relatives at home, and give you information on emergency evacuation procedures, if necessary.
