Philippine Consulate in Colorado Springs, CO
There is no Philippine consulate in Colorado Springs, and the consulate that covers it, the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco, is not a casual trip: 1322 miles away, about 22 h 50 min by road. That makes the order of this page deliberate: first what you can do from Colorado Springs without travelling, then what genuinely requires the counter.
Where Colorado Springs is served from
Jurisdiction runs by state, and Colorado, all of it, is assigned to San Francisco. The same consulate covers Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Northern California (46 counties, from Alameda to Yuba) and Northern Nevada (Carson City and 13 counties). See the Colorado page for the rest of the state's cities and distances.
From Colorado Springs the consulate is 1322 miles and 22 h 50 min away by road, far enough that most residents wait for an outreach mission instead, and are right to.
Watch for consular outreach missions before committing to the full journey. Consulates travel to underserved cities with passport biometrics and dual citizenship ceremonies; the appointments cost nothing, and for somewhere this far from the consulate a mission is usually the practical route. How they are booked is in the appointment guide.
What you can settle from Colorado Springs without travelling
Three of the most searched Philippine procedures in the United States are not consular procedures at all:
- PSA documents, the security-paper certificates everything else depends on, are ordered online and shipped internationally.
- An apostille is issued by the Secretary of State of whichever state produced the document. The consulate stopped authenticating on 15 May 2019.
- NBI clearance is applied for by mail to the Philippines; only the fingerprint card needs a consular officer.
What does require appearing in person is anything biometric or signed: a passport, the oath of allegiance and a special power of attorney signed before a consular officer.
