Registering With Us
We have set up a new improved online registration service called LOCATE for British nationals travelling or living abroad to register themselves with the FCO.
In order to use LOCATE, you will need to register separately. But you will only need to register once. British nationals who are either resident in or visiting any country abroad, whether for business or pleasure, should register their details online. The registration details will remain on LOCATE. Details of your visits or residence abroad will not remain after their end date. LOCATE will accept details of travel abroad up to one year ahead. Please note that an existing subscription to the FCO's Online Services will not allow access to LOCATE.
We are confident that this new service will improve our ability to provide help in crisis situations and reduce delay and worry in times of stress for family and friends at home.

Locate Roadshow
Rupert Potter, Deputy Head of Mission, and the Consular team held their first Locate Roadshow at the British Club Bahrain on 18 February 2009. With over 60 guests from the British Community attending the night was a great success, offering local British expatriates and their families a chance to ask questions about Locate as well as wider questions about our other Consular services which can be found on Help for British Nationals. A large number of those that attended have already registered themselves on Locate.
The Roadshow is part of the Embassy's efforts to inform the British Community in Bahrain about the benefits of registering on Locate. A second event is planned to be held at the Dilmun Club.
