During recent communication with the Consulate section of the British Embassy in Santo Domingo on other matters, I was asked if I would draw British Ex-Pats attention to the following 'Registration' service. Times being how they are at present ........... now might not be a bad time to actually 'get round to doing something about it'!
Herewith the
HEAVY Sales pitch
We are encouraging all British nationals living in the Dominican Republic to register with our online registration service LOCATE. This is a secure system and only takes a few minutes to register your contact details on it. There is no need to contact us directly.
Registering with LOCATE would allow consular staff to contact you in the eventuality of a crisis as well as to keep your family and friends informed of your wellbeing.
You only need to register with the service ONCE. If you move or travel to another country simply log in and update your LOCATE account.
Your details will be stored on a secure database, which can only be accessed by staff in our Embassy or our Consular Crisis Group.
The registration page is accessible at: www.locate.fco.gov.uk/locateportal/
Hope you can find the time to register if you have not already done so ~ Grahame.
