Registering with us

 
British Nationals. Online Consular Registration - LOCATE

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.

To complete the LOCATE online consular registration form, please go to:
Locate - online consular registration

 

It is strongly advisable for British nationals who are either resident in or visiting Bulgaria to register their presence with the British Embassy in Sofia. This allows us to keep in touch with British nationals when they are in Bulgaria and provide consular assistance in the event of an emergency.

 

If you are planning to travel to Bulgaria for more than 3 months or to reside permanently in Bulgaria, we would strongly recommend that you register with British Embassy, Sofia.

 

  • Register with the British Embassy, Sofia by completing an online registration form 
  • Register with the local police station within the district of your residence. You should also apply for a Temporaty and then for Permanent Residence Card / Certificate if you intend to reside in Bulgaria for longer than three months
