Which French consulate covers Malden?
The network's “who to contact” page assigns all of Massachusetts to the Consulate General of France in Boston, so the city's office follows the state.
How many trips? The application is filed in person at Boston, 7 miles from Malden by road. Registered on its Registre, that trip is enough: bring a USPS red Priority Mail or blue Priority Mail Express envelope with a tracking number and the passport comes to you.
Otherwise the pickup is a second trip, 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 never travels by mail, and within 250 miles of Malden the Boston district has no honorary consul with a published office who could hand it over: two trips, then.
Is there a French office closer to Malden?
