Philippine Consulate in Evansville, IN
There is no Philippine consulate in Evansville. The office with jurisdiction is the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago, 289 miles away, about 6 h 26 min by road. This page covers what that means in practice: when the trip is unavoidable, and which procedures can be settled from Evansville without it.
Where Evansville is served from
The assignment is by state: the whole of Indiana belongs to the consulate in Chicago, whose district covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The detail, including how far each city in the state is from the consulate, is on the Indiana page.
6 h 26 min each way, 289 miles: from Evansville this is an appointment you build a day around. It rewards preparation more than punctuality.
What never requires the journey
Three of the most searched Philippine procedures in the United States are not consular procedures at all:
- Your PSA birth certificate or CENOMAR has to come from Manila. No consular office in this country can print one, and every other procedure asks for it.
- Apostilles on American documents come from the issuing state’s competent authority. Since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them.
- For an NBI clearance the whole file travels by mail; a consular officer only witnesses the fingerprint card.
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.
