French consulate in Santa Ana
French consular services for Santa Ana are handled elsewhere. Its consulate is the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles: 44 miles by road, about 57 min at the speed limit.
Which French consulate covers Santa Ana?
The “Californie du sud” of the official page has no county list. Los Angeles's security plan does name Orange County, the county of Santa Ana, and that is what we follow.
How many trips? The application is filed in person at Los Angeles, 44 miles from Santa Ana by road. Registered on its Registre, that trip is enough: bring a FedEx Express Saver label and the passport comes to you. Otherwise the pickup is a second trip, by appointment.
For the ID card, which never travels by mail, ask when you apply for the handover by the honorary consul in San Diego (8525 Gibbs Drive, Suite 304, 77 miles from Santa Ana in a straight line), if that consul is authorized; it costs $11.35 (€10).

If you need a French visa, the appointment is at a TLScontact center: Los Angeles is the closest to Santa Ana (30 miles in a straight line). Centers as listed in October 2025 (TLScontact).
