Which French consulate covers Houlton?
In Maine, the consular district is set by state, and Maine goes to the Consulate General of France in Boston.
Boston is 352 miles from Houlton by road, so the Registre decides the plan: on it, one long trip, and the passport is mailed back if you provide a USPS red Priority Mail or blue Priority Mail Express envelope with a tracking number; off it, a second journey just to collect it, without an appointment, Monday to Thursday 9 am to 12:30 pm and 2:30 to 4 pm, Friday 9 am to 12:30 pm.
The ID card is never mailed, and no honorary consul of the Boston district with a published office is within 250 miles of Houlton: count on two trips for it.
Boston also takes passports on the road: in 2026 it held a mission in Portland, Maine (April 30, 2026), 209 miles from Houlton in a straight line, for people on its Registre; its outreach page announces the next ones (source).
