Our online registration service LOCATE is for all British nationals to tell us about your travel and/or residence outside the United Kingdom - whether short trips or long-term stays.

Please use it to tell us where you are travelling to or where you live.

If there's a crisis where you are, British consular staff can contact you to help and can let family and friends know that you are safe.

It takes only a few minutes to register your overseas contact details and travel plans online. There is no need to contact us directly.  Register now.

Registration in Mongolia

If you intend to remain in Mongolia for more than 30 days, or if you do not have an "entry/exit" you should register your stay with the Foreign Citizen’s Bureau in Ulaanbaatar within a week of your arrival. You should also de-register at the Foreign Citizens’ Bureau before leaving Mongolia.  After de-registering, you need to obtain an "exit" visa from the Consular Department of the Mongolian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  If you do not do this, you are unlikely to be allowed to leave the country. You may also be fined.
