Nigerian consulates in Alabama
Alabama belongs to the Atlanta consular district, which puts Birmingham about two and a half hours up I-20 from the counter on Roswell Road. It is one of the shortest trips to a Nigerian consulate anywhere outside Georgia.

What you can settle from Alabama
Several of the things that bring people here need no counter at all:
- National Identification Number, issued by the NIMC and needed before any passport application
- Passport application form, filled in online before you book anything
- Nigerian visa, applied for online, then lodged at an external centre
- Police clearance certificate, requested from the Nigeria Police Force, never from a consulate
The eleven procedure guides
One guide per document, with what each one asks for and where it is actually issued:
- Renewing a Nigerian passport in the United States
- Nigerian visas: the consulate is not where you apply
- Getting a NIN from the United States
- Emergency Travel Certificate: flying home without a passport
- Nigerian dual citizenship and US naturalisation
- Birth records and attestation
- Police clearance certificate
- Declaring your date of birth
- Burial transit permit
- Consent letters for minors
- Consular registration
Nigerians in Alabama tend to be concentrated around Birmingham and Huntsville, both within a morning's drive of Atlanta. The consular days matter more than the distance here.
