Philippine Consulate in Morgantown, WV
The Philippine consulate for Morgantown is the Embassy of the Philippines. Consular Section in Washington, D.C.. It is 205 miles away, about 4 h 5 min by road, and it is the only office that can process applications from Morgantown: an appointment booked anywhere else is a wasted appointment.

The distance from Morgantown, 205 miles, 4 h 5 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.
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 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 is applied for by mail to the Philippines; only the fingerprint card needs a consular officer.
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.
