Philippine Consulate in Beaverton, OR
There is no Philippine consulate in Beaverton. The office with jurisdiction is the Philippine Consulate General in Seattle, 180 miles away, about 3 h 36 min by road. This page covers what that means in practice: when the trip is unavoidable, and which procedures can be settled from Beaverton without it.
Where Beaverton is served from
Every Philippine procedure for a Oregon resident goes through Seattle: its district is Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Distances from the other cities in the state are on the Oregon page.
180 miles is 3 h 36 min in each direction, so from Beaverton this is a full day committed to one appointment. Worth being certain the appointment is the right one, at the right consulate, with every document in hand.
Three procedures that skip the consulate entirely
The most common wasted journey in this system is for a document the consulate cannot produce. There are three of them:
- PSA documents, the security-paper certificates everything else depends on, are ordered online and shipped internationally.
- Apostilles: if anyone tells you to get a document "red ribboned" at the consulate, that advice predates 2019 and no longer works.
- NBI clearance: posted to Manila, returned by post. Do not send the application to a consulate, it will not be processed there.
What does require appearing in person is anything biometric or signed: a passport, the oath of allegiance and a special power of attorney signed before a consular officer.
