Philippine Consulate in Fort Collins, CO
Fort Collins has no Philippine consulate. Consular matters here belong to the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco, 1188 miles away, about 20 h 23 min by road. Before planning that journey, it is worth knowing that the most searched Philippine procedures never touch a consulate at all, and that consular outreach missions periodically bring the counter closer.
Philippine consulate for Fort Collins: which consulate covers it
The assignment is by state: the whole of Colorado belongs to the consulate in San Francisco, whose district covers Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Northern California (46 counties, from Alameda to Yuba) and Northern Nevada (Carson City and 13 counties). The detail, including how far each city in the state is from the consulate, is on the Colorado page.
At 1188 miles (20 h 23 min), Fort Collins is far enough from San Francisco that the journey is a genuine expense, not an inconvenience. Plan it around a mission if one is announced.
For distances like this, the consular outreach programme is the answer that actually gets used: consulates periodically set up temporary consular offices in cities without one, taking passports and dual citizenship oaths. Appointments are free, passport slots open at passport.gov.ph about a month before each mission, and they fill. The appointment guide explains how the schedule works.
Before you plan the trip from Fort Collins
Check this list first, it covers most of the reasons people book an appointment they did not need:
- PSA certificates, birth, marriage, death and CENOMAR are issued in Manila and ordered online, delivered to any US address.
- 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.
