Nigerian consulate in Dover
Dover has no Nigerian consular office of its own. Its file belongs to the Consulate General of Nigeria in New York.
Which consulate covers Dover
It makes no difference which office is nearest: Delaware is assigned to New York and a file lodged elsewhere does not transfer.
It is 169 miles from Dover, roughly 3 h 33 min, so it pays to bundle errands into one trip.
Also handled from New York, elsewhere in Delaware: Newark (135 mi), Wilmington (126 mi).
From Dover, without travelling
None of this needs a journey:
- A visa application, begun online and finished at a private centre in Houston
- Police clearance certificate, requested from the Nigeria Police Force, never from a consulate
- Birth certificate, issued in Nigeria by the National Population Commission
