International Bahamian Database
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs plays a vital role in protecting the rights of Bahamian citizens, particularly when they face challenges in foreign countries. One of its main duties is to provide assistance to Bahamian individuals who encounter difficulties while abroad. This assistance can be sought directly from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as from The Bahamas Foreign Missions, Consulate Generals, or Honorary Consuls located around the world. Regarding the registration process, we have simplified it for your convenience.
Registering Bahamian nationals abroad has never been more convenient. Simply complete the Ministry of Foreign Affairs International Bahamian Database (MOFA-IBD) registration form, and you’re all set.
