What this office handles in Lafayette
The network's pages list what an honorary consul can do:
- 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
- give information, point you to the right service and offer first-level help, including in an emergency
This consul's directory card also lists these services: collect voting proxies, legalize a signature and certify copies and photocopies as true to the original.

The passport and the ID card are filed with the Consulate General of France in Houston, about 210 miles from Lafayette in a straight line. 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.
The network's general page says an honorary consul “does not issue official documents” and handles information and first-level help.
The directory cards of the two Louisiana honorary consuls, Lake Charles and Lafayette, list three services that are official acts: voting proxies, signature legalization and certified copies. Ask them before you go. (source: 1)
