Philippine Consulate in Connecticut
Connecticut falls under the Philippine Consulate General in New York, which covers the entire Northeast from a single office on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. For most of the state that is one of the shortest trips to a Philippine consulate anywhere in the country.
The consulate that covers Connecticut
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stamford | New York | 36 miles | 57 min by car |
| Bridgeport | New York | 58 miles | 1 h 25 min by car |
| New Haven | New York | 76 miles | 1 h 52 min by car |
| Hartford | New York | 110 miles | 2 h 35 min by car |
Before you plan the journey
The most frequent wasted journey in this system is for a document the consulate cannot produce. There are three of them:
The short version: PSA certificates are ordered online from Manila, apostilles on documents issued in Connecticut come from the state's own competent authority, since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them, and the NBI clearance travels by mail; only its fingerprint card needs a consular officer.
Set against that, three things cannot be delegated or posted: passport biometrics, the RA 9225 oath, and signing a notarial document in front of a consular officer. For those, the trip is unavoidable.
From Stamford or New Haven, Midtown Manhattan is straightforward by train. The constraint here is not distance, it is appointment availability: ten states share this counter.
