Nigerian consulate in Bakersfield

Nigeria keeps no consulate in Bakersfield, and the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C. is where the paperwork goes.

Which consulate covers Bakersfield

Nigeria has published no district covering California. That leaves Washington, D.C., which is an inference and worth confirming by phone before a long journey.

Allow 47 h 22 min for the 2,689 miles between Bakersfield and Washington, D.C.

Other California places in the same position: San Francisco (2,811 mi), San Jose (2,842 mi), Riverside (2,638 mi).

From Bakersfield, without travelling

Start with what can be settled from home:

Passport renewal, started on a website, with the counter only as the last step
Dual citizenship rules, worth reading before you take the US oath, not after
National Identification Number, issued by the NIMC and needed before any passport application
