Philippine Consulate in St. Louis, MO
Filipinos in St. Louis are covered by the Philippine Consulate General in Chicago, 296 miles away, about 5 h 35 min by road. There is no consular office in St. Louis itself, but there is more that can be done from home than most people expect, and it is worth checking before booking anything.
Where St. Louis is served from
Jurisdiction runs by state, and Missouri, all of it, is assigned to Chicago. The same consulate covers Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. See the Missouri page for the rest of the state's cities and distances.
The distance from St. Louis, 296 miles, 5 h 35 min, puts this in the category of trips you make once and want to make count. Most people who end up repeating it were missing a PSA document.
Three procedures that skip the consulate entirely
Check this list first, it covers most of the reasons people book an appointment they did not need:
- Your PSA birth certificate or CENOMAR has to come from Manila. No consular office in this country can print one, and every other procedure asks for it.
- Apostilles on American documents come from the issuing state’s competent authority. Since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them.
- NBI clearance: posted to Manila, returned by post. Do not send the application to a consulate, it will not be processed there.
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.
