Which French consulate covers Sioux Falls?

The Consulate General of France in Chicago covers the whole of South Dakota, Sioux Falls included.

Chicago is 575 miles from Sioux Falls by road, so the Registre decides the plan: on it, one long trip, and the passport is mailed back if you provide a FedEx Express Saver label; off it, a second journey just to collect it, by appointment.

The ID card is never mailed: if the honorary consul in Minneapolis, at Alliance Française, 227 Colfax Avenue North, is authorized, it can hand it over for $11.35 (€10) and spare the second trip.

Chicago also takes passports on the road: in 2026 it held a mission in St. Louis (February 10 and 11, 2026), 473 miles from Sioux Falls in a straight line, for people on its Registre; its outreach page announces the next ones (source).
