Nigerian consulate in Chicago
Chicago has no Nigerian consular office of its own. Its file belongs to the Consulate General of Nigeria in New York.
Chicago has no Nigerian consulate, although Illinois is listed in the New York consulate’s published jurisdiction. Anything requiring a counter means travelling to New York.
Which consulate covers Chicago
What decides this is the state line, not the map. Illinois belongs to New York and there is no choosing another office.
The real figure is 794 miles and 14 h 54 min. Among the 7 places listed in Illinois, Chicago ranks 1.
Also handled from New York, elsewhere in Illinois: Evanston (807 mi), Naperville (817 mi), Aurora (833 mi).
From Chicago, without travelling
None of this needs a journey:
- Passport renewal, started on a website, with the counter only as the last step
- Police clearance certificate, requested from the Nigeria Police Force, never from a consulate
- Birth certificate, issued in Nigeria by the National Population Commission
