Philippine Consulate in Georgia

Georgia

Georgia belongs to the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C., and has a Philippine honorary consulate in Atlanta headed by a Consul General ad honorem. A slightly higher rank than most honorary consulates carry.

Note what that means. An honorary consulate cannot issue a passport, administer the dual citizenship oath or notarise a document. For those you need the full consulate below.

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
Augusta Washington, D.C. 551 miles 10 h 21 min by car
Savannah Washington, D.C. 579 miles 10 h 43 min by car
Atlanta Washington, D.C. 638 miles 12 h 11 min by car
Columbus Washington, D.C. 747 miles 14 h 12 min by car

From Columbus that is 14 h 12 min by car each way, which makes it worth checking the consular outreach schedule before committing to the drive: missions bring passport and dual citizenship services to cities without a consulate, and the appointments are free.

Before you plan the journey

A large share of the trips people make to a Philippine consulate were never necessary. These three are handled entirely elsewhere:

The short version: PSA certificates are ordered online from Manila, apostilles on documents issued in Georgia 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.

Atlanta is a regular stop on the Embassy's outreach schedule, which matters: it is the largest Filipino community in the Deep South and the drive to Washington is around ten hours.

We are not the Philippine Consulate General, the Philippine Embassy or any government agency. We do not book, sell or manage appointments: every consulate runs its own system. We check the details regularly, but they can change without notice, always confirm with the consulate before you travel.
