Nigerian consulates in Alaska
Alaska is one of the fifteen states no published Nigerian source assigns to any office. In practice that leaves the Embassy in Washington, five time zones and a transcontinental flight away.
Which office covers Alaska
Alaska appears in no published consular district. Nigeria names the jurisdictions of its two consulates general and says nothing about the fifteen territories left over, so the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C. is the practical answer rather than the official one.
The number, so you do not have to go looking for it: (202) 800-7201, ext. 100.
The 3 places below run from 3,905 miles and 84 h 2 min (Juneau) out to 4,273 miles and 85 h 14 min (Anchorage), with Washington, D.C. at the other end and a 4,112-mile average in between.
Distances from Alaska

| Juneau | Washington, D.C. | 3,905 mi | 84 h 2 min |
*Calculated at posted speed limits and without traffic, so a real journey always runs longer.
What you can settle from Alaska
These travel by browser and by post, wherever you are:
- 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
- Birth certificate, issued in Nigeria by the National Population Commission
The eleven procedure guides
The detail on every procedure, including the ones no consulate handles:

- Emergency Travel Certificate: flying home without a passport
- Nigerian dual citizenship and US naturalisation
- Nigerian birth certificates and attestation of birth
- Police clearance certificate
- Declaring your date of birth
- Burial transit permit
- Consent letters for minors
- Consular registration
Nothing about Alaska is close to a Nigerian counter, so the online routes on this page carry more weight here than anywhere else in the country.
nigerianconsulates.us is an independent guide to Nigeria’s consular offices in the United States. We are not the Nigerian Embassy, any Consulate General, or any government body.
We do not book appointments and we do not sell them. Details are checked regularly and can change without notice: confirm with the office before you travel.
