Nigerian consulate in Newark, New Jersey
Newark has no Nigerian consular office of its own. Its file belongs to the Consulate General of Nigeria in New York.
Which consulate covers Newark
Nigeria divides the country by state, and New Jersey goes to New York. That rule outranks the mileage.
The real figure is 15 miles and 30 min. Among the 8 places listed in New Jersey, Newark ranks 2.
Also handled from New York, elsewhere in New Jersey: Paterson (20 mi), Edison (35 mi), Trenton (63 mi).
From Newark, 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
