AMERICAN VISA SERVICE

OPTION 1

Apply separately

if you do not need a visa for your destination.

Send a copy of your US passport, fill out Trip Registration Application and AVS Order Form and e-mail to info@avschicago.com. 

The US State Department strongly encourages American citizens planning international travel to register with the US Embassy(s) in the countries they plan to visit. This makes it possible for the US Embassy or Consulate to contact a traveler if necessary, whether because of a family emergency in the United States or because of a crisis in the country where the traveler is visiting.   

All US citizens who will be traveling or residing abroad can register. It is a good idea to register each traveler before departing on any international trip.
