Philippine Consulate in Kailua, HI
Filipinos in Kailua are covered by the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu, 13 miles away, about 28 min by road. There is no consular office in Kailua itself, but there is more that can be done from home than most people expect, and it is worth checking before booking anything.
Which Philippine consulate serves Kailua
Every Philippine procedure for a Hawaii resident goes through Honolulu: its district is Hawaii and American Samoa. Distances from the other cities in the state are on the Hawaii page.
13 miles from the consulate, Kailua is close enough that a forgotten photocopy is an annoyance rather than a disaster.
What you can settle from Kailua without travelling
Three of the most searched Philippine procedures in the United States are not consular procedures at all:
- 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.
- An apostille is issued by the Secretary of State of whichever state produced the document. The consulate stopped authenticating on 15 May 2019.
- The NBI clearance is issued in the Philippines. The fingerprint card can be done at a consulate or, the NBI says, at the nearest police station.
The counter is unavoidable for passport biometrics and the RA 9225 oath. A notarial document can also be done by a local notary with an apostille, according to the notarial page of the Chicago consulate. Everything else deserves a second look before you drive.
