Nigerian consulate in Baton Rouge
Nigeria keeps no consulate in Baton Rouge, and the Consulate General of Nigeria in Atlanta is where the paperwork goes.
Which consulate covers Baton Rouge
What decides this is the state line, not the map. Louisiana belongs to Atlanta and there is no choosing another office.
It is 544 miles from Baton Rouge, roughly 9 h 59 min, so it pays to bundle errands into one trip.
Other Louisiana places in the same position: Shreveport (608 mi), New Orleans (486 mi), Lafayette (597 mi).
From Baton Rouge, 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
