What this office handles in Albany
The network's pages list what an honorary consul can do:
- collect some files and pass them on to the consulate
- hand over a passport or an ID card filed at the consulate, if you asked for it when you applied and the consul is authorized to do so
- give information, point you to the right service and offer first-level help, including in an emergency
On this site, 6 city pages send readers here for a first contact: Utica (96 miles by road), Syracuse (145 miles), Plattsburgh (158 miles), Watertown (176 miles), Massena (213 miles) and Ogdensburg (226 miles).

Pensioners asking for a certificate of life are sent to a notary public: as the network's certificate of life page puts it, consulates and honorary consuls in the US no longer issue it as a rule.
What you can settle without traveling
- Have a death transcribed by mail; no deadline is set for it.
- Check that a US citizen needs no visa for up to 90 days in any 180 (journalists on assignment are the exception).
- Ask the Paris judicial court for a certificate of French nationality by mail, since no consulate issues it.
