What this office handles in San Diego
According to the network's pages, an honorary consul can:
- give information, point you to the right service and offer first-level help, including in an emergency
- collect some files and pass them on to the consulate
- hand over a passport or an ID card filed at the consulate, if you asked for it when you applied and the consul is authorized to do so
One city page on this site sends readers here for a first contact: Palm Springs (117 miles by road).
One thing not to ask for here: a certificate of life. The network's certificate of life page says that, as a rule, consulates and honorary consuls in the US no longer issue it, and sends pensioners to a notary public.
What you can settle without traveling
- Have a US birth transcribed in the French registers by mail: the transcription is free and has no deadline.
- Ask the Paris judicial court for a certificate of French nationality by mail, since no consulate issues it.
- Join the consular electoral list online, up to six weeks before an election.
