Philippine Consulate in Spokane, WA
Spokane does not have its own Philippine consulate. It is served by the Philippine Consulate General in Seattle, 280 miles away, about 5 h 9 min by road, and every appointment, passport and notarial act for Spokane residents happens there.
Which Philippine consulate serves Spokane
The assignment is by state: the whole of Washington 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 Washington page.
At 280 miles, Spokane is a serious drive from the consulate: 5 h 9 min before you park. Confirm by email that your file is complete rather than discovering a gap at the window.
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 certificates, birth, marriage, death and CENOMAR are issued in Manila and ordered online, delivered to any US address.
- Apostilles: if anyone tells you to get a document "red ribboned" at the consulate, that advice predates 2019 and no longer works.
- The NBI clearance is issued in the Philippines. The consulate’s only part is notarising your 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.
