Which French consulate covers Irvine?
Irvine is in Orange County, which the Los Angeles consulate's security plan lists among its zones: that places it in the southern district.
For a passport, Irvine is 51 miles from Los Angeles: one trip if you are on its Registre, since Los Angeles mails the new passport home if you provide a FedEx Express Saver label; otherwise a second short trip to collect it, by appointment.
