Which French consulate covers Garapan?

The Consulate General of France in San Francisco covers the whole of the Northern Mariana Islands, Garapan included. The source is the San Francisco consulate's own page, which adds to its district “U.S.

Pacific territories, Guam and Samoa”; the network's general “who to contact” list does not name them.

Getting a passport from Garapan means flying to San Francisco. Registration on its Registre saves the second flight: the passport is sent back if you provide a FedEx envelope; without it, the passport waits to be picked up, without an appointment, Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.

The ID card never travels by mail, and within 250 miles of Garapan the San Francisco district has no honorary consul with a published office who could hand it over: two trips, then.

San Francisco also takes passports on the road: in 2026 it held a mission in Honolulu (March 30 to April 2, 2026, fully booked), 3,708 miles from Garapan in a straight line, for people on its Registre; its outreach page announces the next ones (source).
