We can help to locate family members separated by war, internal conflict, or changing world conditions beyond their control. We can assist in restoring family communications across international borders. We reunite families when possible and we provide additional services that are within the scope of our humanitarian mission. Requests for Red Cross international social services are accepted from members of the community with family ties to other countries when the separation has occurred as a result of war, political tensions, disasters, or changing world events over which they have no control. Requests for tracing and other international services must involve a relative, who is a citizen of, and resides in, another country.
Service is provided to members of the community irrespective of their U.S. immigration status.
Service IS NOT provided to inquirers in the United States who are attempting to locate a U.S. citizen believed to be in another country. In these situations, the U.S. Department of State may be able to assist. All Rights Reserved.
