Everything you type stays on this page in your browser — nothing is saved or transmitted. Fill in only what you're comfortable carrying on a printed card, and keep it somewhere secure alongside your passport.
It's tempting to assume a phone makes a printed emergency card redundant, but the exact situations where this card matters most — a dead battery, a lost or stolen phone, a language barrier with local emergency responders, or being unconscious and unable to unlock a device — are precisely the situations where a phone can't help at all. A simple printed card carried in a wallet or passport holder works regardless of battery life, signal, or whether someone else needs to read it on your behalf.
This generator focuses on the information that's genuinely useful to a stranger or medical responder trying to help you in an emergency: who to contact, any medical conditions or allergies that affect emergency treatment, your insurance policy number so responders or hospital staff can verify coverage, and your accommodation address so you can be returned there or so it can be checked if you're reported missing. Every field is optional specifically because what's appropriate to carry depends on your own comfort with sharing that information on a card that could, in the worst case, be seen by someone other than an emergency responder — include only what you're genuinely comfortable having on a physical card.
A phone number that's obvious to dial at home can be confusing to a local responder abroad who doesn't automatically know your home country's dialling code. Including the full international format, with country code, removes any ambiguity for whoever ends up needing to place that call, and is worth doing even though it looks slightly unfamiliar to you as the person filling in the card.
Embassy and consulate contact details change, differ by exact city and consular district, and providing a fixed number here risks giving you outdated or incorrect information in exactly the situation where accuracy matters most. Instead, look up your specific country's embassy or consulate for your destination before travelling, and add that number directly into one of the emergency contact fields on this card, so you're carrying a number you've personally verified as current.
Once printed, keep this card with your passport rather than loose in a bag, since the situations where it's needed most are often the same situations where you'd also be reaching for your passport. It's also worth keeping a photo of the completed card on your phone as a backup, alongside the physical copy, precisely because either the phone or the physical card alone might not be accessible in a genuine emergency.
One last suggestion: update the card each time a detail changes — a new insurance policy, a different emergency contact, an updated medical note — rather than reusing an old printed card from a previous trip, since an outdated emergency contact or expired insurance reference could genuinely mislead someone trying to help you.
No. Everything you type is used only to render the card on this page and stays entirely in your browser — nothing is saved, stored, or sent anywhere, including if you close or reload the page.
That's a personal risk decision — it's genuinely useful for identification in an emergency, but also sensitive information if the card were lost or stolen. Many travellers choose to include only a partial reference or omit it and rely on the passport itself being nearby instead.
Embassy and consular contact details vary by exact city and change over time, so providing a fixed number risks giving you outdated information. Look up your country's current embassy details for your specific destination and add the verified number yourself.
Yes, simply type your information in whichever language you prefer directly into the fields — the generator doesn't translate or restrict the language of what you enter.
