The U.S. Department of State has launched a new group enrolment feature for its Smart Traveller Enrolment Program (STEP), allowing entities like families, organizations, and schools to register multiple U.S. citizens traveling abroad under a single submission. This update aims to simplify the sign-up process amidst rising global threats.

• The STEP program is a free service provided by the Bureau of Consular Affairs.
• The new feature enables one organizer to submit travel details for multiple individuals, streamlining registration for various group trips.
• This enhancement follows a broader overhaul of the STEP platform in late 2024, integrating it with Login.gov.
