Philippine Consulate in Fort Worth, TX
The Philippine consulate for Fort Worth is the Philippine Consulate General in Houston. It is 262 miles away, about 4 h 45 min by road, and it is the only office that can process applications from Fort Worth: an appointment booked anywhere else is a wasted appointment.
Where Fort Worth is served from
Jurisdiction runs by state, and Texas, all of it, is assigned to Houston. The same consulate covers Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. See the Texas page for the rest of the state's cities and distances.
4 h 45 min each way, 262 miles: from Fort Worth this is an appointment you build a day around. It rewards preparation more than punctuality.
Three procedures that skip the consulate entirely
Three of the most searched Philippine procedures in the United States are not consular procedures at all:
- PSA certificates, birth, marriage, death and CENOMAR are issued in Manila and ordered online, delivered to any US address.
- Apostilles on American documents come from the issuing state’s competent authority. Since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them.
- For an NBI clearance the whole file travels by mail, and the NBI accepts fingerprints taken by a consulate or by a police station.
What does require appearing in person is your biometrics for a passport and the oath of allegiance. A special power of attorney can be signed before a consular officer or before a local notary and then apostilled, according to the notarial page of the Chicago consulate.
