Nigerian consulate in Columbia, Maryland

Columbia has no Nigerian consular office of its own. Its file belongs to the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C.

Which consulate covers Columbia

No Nigerian source assigns Maryland to a consulate. Washington, D.C. is the mission left over once New York and Atlanta publish theirs, and it is where Columbia is handled in practice.

Columbia to Washington, D.C. is 25 miles and about 47 min at the wheel, which puts it 7th of the 10 places this site lists in Maryland.

Also handled from Washington, D.C., elsewhere in Maryland: Baltimore (40 mi), Frederick (40 mi), Silver Spring (6 mi).

From Columbia, without travelling

None of this needs a journey:

Nigerian visas, lodged at an external centre, never at a consulate
Emergency Travel Certificate, posted to the consulate, with no counter visit
Dual citizenship rules, worth reading before you take the US oath, not after
