Philippine Consulate in Jersey City, NJ
The Philippine consulate for Jersey City is the Philippine Consulate General in New York. It is 6 miles away, about 19 min by road, and it is the only office that can process applications from Jersey City: an appointment booked anywhere else is a wasted appointment.
Where Jersey City is served from
Every Philippine procedure for a New Jersey resident goes through New York: its district is Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont. Distances from the other cities in the state are on the New Jersey page.
With 19 min between Jersey City and the counter, the trip itself is barely worth planning. The appointment is the hard part.
Three procedures that skip the consulate entirely
Check this list first, it covers most of the reasons people book an appointment they did not need:
- 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: posted to Manila, returned by post. Do not send the application to a consulate, it will not be processed there.
The counter is unavoidable for exactly three things: passport biometrics, the RA 9225 oath and signing a notarial document in front of an officer. Everything else deserves a second look before you drive.
