Nigerian consulate in Los Angeles
Nigeria keeps no consulate in Los Angeles, and the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C. is where the paperwork goes.
Nigeria has no consulate in Los Angeles, and California is one of the fifteen states no published Nigerian source assigns to any office. In practice the Embassy in Washington is the one that answers, which is a transcontinental flight away.
Which consulate covers Los Angeles
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.
It is 2,672 miles from Los Angeles, roughly 47 h, so it pays to bundle errands into one trip.
Other California places in the same position: Anaheim (2,665 mi), Long Beach (2,686 mi), Bakersfield (2,689 mi).
From Los Angeles, without travelling
Start with what can be settled from home:
- The passport application form, filled in and paid for online before any appointment exists
- Birth certificate, issued in Nigeria by the National Population Commission
- Consular registration, a form that costs nothing and takes minutes
