Nigerian consulates in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is in the New York district. Boston is about four hours from Nigeria House, and Worcester has a Nigerian community out of proportion to its size.
Which office covers Massachusetts
Consular work for Massachusetts goes to the Consulate General of Nigeria in New York, which publishes Massachusetts on its own jurisdiction list.
The 6 places below run from 137 miles and 3 h 4 min (Springfield) out to 214 miles and 4 h 39 min (Brockton), with New York at the other end and a 192-mile average in between.

What you can settle from Massachusetts
These travel by browser and by post, wherever you are:
- Consular registration, a form that costs nothing and takes minutes
- Emergency Travel Certificate, posted to the consulate, with no counter visit
- 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
The eleven procedure guides
The detail on every procedure, including the ones no consulate handles:
- Renewing a Nigerian passport in the United States
- Nigerian visas: the consulate is not where you apply
- Getting a NIN from the United States
- Emergency Travel Certificate: flying home without a passport
- Holding two passports
- Birth records and attestation
- Police clearance certificate
- Declaring your date of birth
- Burial transit permit
- Consent letters for minors
- Registering with your consulate as a Nigerian abroad
The counter opens for three hours a day, so the Amtrak timetable matters as much as the driving time.
