Description

When an U.S. citizen dies abroad, the Bureau of Consular Affairs assists the family and friends during this difficult time. The Bureau of Consular Affairs will locate and inform the next-of-kin of the U.S. citizen’s death and provides information on how to make arrangements for local burial or return of the remains to the United States. The disposition of remains is subject to U.S. law, local laws of the country where the individual died, U.S. and foreign customs requirements, and the foreign country facilities, which are often vastly different from those in the United States.

Description

If you are concerned about a U.S. citizen relative or friend who is traveling or living abroad, you can call us at 1-888-407-4747. Our Embassies and Consulates abroad can use the information you provide to try to locate the individual and pass on your message. We check also with local authorities in the foreign country to see if there is any report of a U.S. citizen hospitalized, arrested, or otherwise unable to communicate with those looking for them. If necessary, we may personally search hotels, airports, hospitals, or even prisons. The more information that you can provide about the person you are concerned about, the better our chances are of finding him or her.
