Billings is not home to a French consulate. Residents are served by the Consulate General of France in San Francisco, 1,170 miles away by road (21 h 6 min).
Which French consulate covers Billings?
In France's US network, Montana comes under the Consulate General of France in San Francisco.
San Francisco is 1,170 miles from Billings by road, so the Registre decides the plan: on it, one long trip, and the passport is mailed back if you provide a FedEx envelope; off it, a second journey just to collect it, without an appointment, Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
The ID card is never mailed, and no honorary consul of the San Francisco district with a published office is within 250 miles of Billings: count on two trips for it.
San Francisco also takes passports on the road: its next mission near you is in Salt Lake City, November 30 to December 4, 2026, 387 miles from Billings in a straight line, for people on its Registre (source).
