Japanese consulates in Nevada

The whole of Nevada belongs to San Francisco, which is why Las Vegas is 565 miles from its consulate while Los Angeles sits about 270 miles away and is not the office that covers it.

Which Japanese consulate covers Nevada?

Nevada is covered by Consulate-General of Japan in San Francisco, and that is the office that handles passports, visas, certificates and family register entries for anyone living here.

Honorary consuls in this state

An honorary consul is a local contact point, not a counter: the post issues no passports and no visas and cannot notarise a document. For that you still go to the consulate general.

    What you can settle without going

  • You can download and fill in the passport application form before your appointment.
  • You can have the Certificate of Eligibility applied for in Japan by your sponsor.
  • You can check the office hours: most consular counters close at midday.

    • If you only need a certificate or a registration, check whether it can travel by mail before you plan the drive.

    This is an independent guide. It is not the Japanese government, and it does not process applications or book appointments. Details change: check anything that decides a trip against the office itself.
