Before you plan the trip from Baltimore
Three of the most searched Philippine procedures in the United States are not consular procedures at all:
- PSA documents, the security-paper certificates everything else depends on, are ordered online and shipped internationally.
- Apostilles: if anyone tells you to get a document "red ribboned" at the consulate, that advice predates 2019 and no longer works.
- The NBI clearance is issued in the Philippines. The consulate’s only part is notarising your fingerprint card.
The counter is unavoidable for exactly three things: passport biometrics, the RA 9225 oath and signing a notarial document in front of an officer. Everything else deserves a second look before you drive.
