Which French consulate covers Bemidji?
The Consulate General of France in Chicago covers the whole of Minnesota, Bemidji included.
Chicago is 625 miles from Bemidji by road, so the Registre decides the plan: on it, one long trip, and the passport is mailed back if you provide a FedEx Express Saver label; off it, a second journey just to collect it, by appointment.
The ID card is never mailed: if the honorary consul in Minneapolis, at Alliance Française, 227 Colfax Avenue North, is authorized, it can hand it over for $11.35 (€10) and spare the second trip.
