Which French consulate covers Manchester?
The network's “who to contact” page assigns all of New Hampshire to the Consulate General of France in Boston, so the city's office follows the state.
For a passport, Manchester is 53 miles from Boston: one trip if you are on its Registre, since Boston mails the new passport home if you provide a USPS red Priority Mail or blue Priority Mail Express envelope with a tracking number; otherwise a second short trip to collect it, 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 is never mailed, and no honorary consul of the Boston district with a published office is within 250 miles of Manchester: count on two trips for it.
