Which French consulate covers Ponce?

The network's “who to contact” page assigns all of Puerto Rico to the Consulate General of France in Miami, so the city's office follows the territory.

Getting a passport from Ponce means flying to Miami.

Registration on its Registre saves the second flight: the passport is sent back if you provide USPS Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express with tracking for Florida, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands (DHL or FedEx for the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos); without it, the passport waits to be picked up, without an appointment, Monday to Thursday 9 am to noon and 2 to 4 pm.

For the ID card, which never travels by mail, ask when you apply for the handover by the honorary consul in San Juan (270 Muñoz Rivera Avenue, Suite 301, 46 miles from Ponce in a straight line), if that consul is authorized; it costs $11.35 (€10).
