French consulate in Laredo

France has no consular office in Laredo. Residents are served by the Consulate General of France in Houston, 310 miles away by road (6 h).

Which French consulate covers Laredo?

Since Texas belongs to the district of the Consulate General of France in Houston, that is the office for Laredo.

Houston is 310 miles from Laredo by road, so the Registre decides the plan: on it, one long trip, and the passport is mailed back if you provide a USPS Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express envelope with tracking, stamped at the current rate; off it, a second journey just to collect it, without an appointment, in short windows: Monday 8 to 8:40 am, Wednesday 12:10 to 12:50 pm and 5:10 to 5:50 pm, Thursday 12:10 to 12:50 pm, Friday 8 to 8:40 am.

The ID card is never mailed: if the honorary consul in San Antonio, at Bistro9, 6106 Broadway, is authorized, it can hand it over for $11.35 (€10) and spare the second trip.
