Which French consulate covers Woodbridge?

How many trips? The application is filed in person at Washington, 24 miles from Woodbridge by road. Registered on its Registre, that trip is enough: bring a USPS red Priority Mail or blue Priority Mail Express envelope with a tracking number and the passport comes to you.

For the ID card, which never travels by mail, ask when you apply for the handover by the honorary consul in Norfolk (CMA CGM, 5701 Lake Wright Drive, 136 miles from Woodbridge in a straight line), if that consul is authorized; it costs $11.35 (€10).
