Nigerian consulates in West Virginia
West Virginia is in the Atlanta district, which is not the nearest office on a map: the Embassy in Washington is closer to Charleston than Atlanta is. The published jurisdiction says Atlanta.
Which office covers West Virginia
Consular work for West Virginia goes to the Consulate General of Nigeria in Atlanta, which publishes West Virginia on its own jurisdiction list.
The 3 places below run from 469 miles and 9 h 2 min (Huntington) out to 606 miles and 11 h 38 min (Morgantown), with Atlanta at the other end and a 523-mile average in between.
Distances from West Virginia
| Town | Consulate | Road distance | By road* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charleston | Atlanta | 494 mi | 9 h 31 min |
| Huntington | Atlanta | 469 mi | 9 h 2 min |
| Morgantown | Atlanta | 606 mi | 11 h 38 min |
*Calculated at posted speed limits and without traffic, so a real journey always runs longer.
What you can settle from West Virginia
None of the following requires an appointment or a journey:
- Passport application form, filled in online before you book anything
- Nigerian visa, applied for online, then lodged at an external centre
- Police clearance certificate, requested from the Nigeria Police Force, never from a consulate
- Birth certificate, issued in Nigeria by the National Population Commission
The eleven procedure guides
The detail on every procedure, including the ones no consulate handles:
- Nigerian passport renewal
- Applying for a Nigerian visa
- NIN enrolment from abroad
- Emergency Travel Certificate
- Holding two passports
- Nigerian birth certificates and attestation of birth
- Nigerian police clearance certificate from abroad
- Age declaration: fixing a date of birth
- Repatriating remains to Nigeria
- Letter of authorisation for children under 18
- Consular registration
Huntington and Morgantown are in the same bind. This is one of the clearest cases where the district and the map disagree.
