Philippine Consulate in Portland, OR
The Philippine consulate for Portland is the Philippine Consulate General in Seattle. It is 174 miles away, about 3 h 27 min by road, and it is the only office that can process applications from Portland: an appointment booked anywhere else is a wasted appointment.
Where Portland is served from
The assignment is by state: the whole of Oregon belongs to the consulate in Seattle, whose district covers Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. The detail, including how far each city in the state is from the consulate, is on the Oregon page.
174 miles is 3 h 27 min in each direction, so from Portland this is a full day committed to one appointment. Worth being certain the appointment is the right one, at the right consulate, with every document in hand.
Before you plan the trip from Portland
The most common wasted journey in this system is for a document the consulate cannot produce. There are three of them:
- PSA certificates: the Philippine Statistics Authority prints them, not the consulate. You order them on the web and they arrive by courier.
- Documents signed by a US notary or issued by a US authority need a state apostille, not a consular stamp. The consulate has no role in that chain.
- The NBI clearance is issued in the Philippines. The consulate’s only part is notarising your fingerprint card.
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.
