Philippine Consulate in Henderson, NV
Henderson does not have its own Philippine consulate. It is served by the Philippine Consulate General in Los Angeles, 272 miles away, about 5 h 6 min by road, and every appointment, passport and notarial act for Henderson residents happens there.
Which Philippine consulate serves Henderson
Nevada is one of only two states whose Philippine jurisdiction runs by county. Henderson is in Clark County, so its consulate is Los Angeles, not the consulate in San Francisco, however convenient it may look on a map. The county table is on the Nevada page.
The distance from Henderson, 272 miles, 5 h 6 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.
Nevada also has a Philippine honorary consulate in Las Vegas. It does not replace the consulate, no passports, no oaths, no notarials, but it is a local first call, and honorary consulates are usually the first to announce outreach missions in their area.
What never requires the journey
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.
- The NBI clearance is issued in the Philippines. The consulate’s only part is notarising your fingerprint card.
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.
