Which French consulate covers Saint Paul?
Your address in Saint Paul places you in Minnesota, and Minnesota is served by the Consulate General of France in Chicago.
Chicago is 400 miles from Saint Paul 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.
