Which French consulate covers Pocatello?
In France's US network, Idaho comes under the Consulate General of France in San Francisco.
San Francisco is 783 miles from Pocatello by road, so the Registre decides the plan: on it, one long trip, and the passport is mailed back if you provide a FedEx envelope; off it, a second journey just to collect it, without an appointment, Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
The ID card is never mailed, and no honorary consul of the San Francisco district with a published office is within 250 miles of Pocatello: count on two trips for it.
San Francisco also takes passports on the road: its next mission near you is in Salt Lake City, November 30 to December 4, 2026, 148 miles from Pocatello in a straight line, for people on its Registre (source).
