Real reviews of the Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles
The Los Angeles consulate has 4.1 stars from 2,210 reviews on Google. Recent reviewers advise booking online and bringing extra copies of every document, while the 1-star reviews of 2026 complain of rude window staff and long waits for notarials.
Quick and organized. Booking online gets you through faster. They take tap, cards and cash, but bring cash anyway in case the system goes down, which happens.
Anonymous reviewer
We did a notarial, dual citizenship and passports for me and my children and were done before 2 p.m. Book online; if you cannot get a passport slot, a walk-in with all your documents and copies worked for us.

I paid the extra $10 to expedite a notarial with a single signature and still waited more than three hours after my appointment time.
