However, this is not a universal requirement and the specific obligations vary from country to country. In general, it is always a good idea for citizens of any country to keep their embassy informed of their whereabouts, as this can be useful in case of emergencies or if assistance is needed. However, whether there is a legal obligation to do so can vary greatly. If you are relocating to a new country, it is a good idea to check the specific requirements and regulations of that country in order to determine if there is an obligation to notify the embassy of your address. You can usually find this information on the website of the embassy or consulate of the country you are moving to, or by contacting them directly. ![](https://www.movingtoireland.co/apple-touch-icon.png) You have read 25% of this guide ## Keep reading in the Moving to Ireland app The rest of **Notify your embassy for address change** — about 1 minute more — is in the app, free to download, alongside 98 other guides and a checklist built around your own move.
