Your consulate at a glance
How far the consulate is from your city
Driving distances to the consulate that covers each city, calculated at posted speed limits and without traffic:
| City | Consulate | Distance | Journey |
|---|---|---|---|
| Missoula | Seattle | 477 miles | 8 h 39 min by car |
| Great Falls | Seattle | 642 miles | 11 h 46 min by car |
| Bozeman | Seattle | 678 miles | 11 h 56 min by car |
| Billings | Seattle | 822 miles | 14 h 19 min by car |
From Billings that is 14 h 19 min by car each way, which makes it worth checking the consular outreach schedule before committing to the drive: missions bring passport and dual citizenship services to cities without a consulate, and the appointments are free.
Three procedures that never reach a counter
Three of the most searched Philippine procedures in the United States are not consular procedures at all, and knowing that is worth more than knowing the opening hours:
The short version: PSA certificates are ordered online from Manila, apostilles on documents issued in Montana come from the state's own competent authority, since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them, and the NBI clearance travels by mail; its fingerprints can be taken at a consulate or at a police station, according to the NBI.
What does require you in person is your biometrics for a passport and the oath of allegiance. A special power of attorney can be signed at the consulate or before a local notary and then apostilled, according to the notarial page of the Chicago consulate.
By road, Missoula is 477 miles from the Seattle consulate and Billings 822. Seattle's pages say passport services are temporarily unavailable during its soft opening.
