What you do not need a consulate for
A large share of the trips people make to a Philippine consulate were never necessary. These three are handled entirely elsewhere:
- PSA certificates — birth, marriage, death, CENOMAR — come from the Philippine Statistics Authority and are ordered online.
- Apostilles on documents issued in New Hampshire come from the state’s own competent authority. Since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them.
- NBI clearance is issued in the Philippines and applied for by mail; only the fingerprint card needs a consular officer.
Everything else, though, is worth the journey precisely because it cannot be done any other way — passport biometrics, the oath, and a signature on a special power of attorney witnessed in person.
Manchester to Manhattan is around four hours. For a single signature it is a long day; for a passport, with biometrics required in person, there is no alternative.
