What you do not need a consulate for
Before booking anything, check whether your document involves a consulate at all. Three of the most common ones do not:
The short version: PSA certificates are ordered online from Manila, apostilles on documents issued in West Virginia come from the state's own competent authority, since 15 May 2019 the consulate cannot authenticate them, and the NBI clearance travels by mail; only its fingerprint card needs a consular officer.
What does require you in person is anything carrying your biometrics or your signature: a passport, the oath of allegiance and a special power of attorney.
Charleston to Washington is around six hours by road, and the eastern panhandle is within commuting distance of the capital. Check what actually requires your presence before setting out.
