Can I go to any Philippines consulate or embassy in US?

[Usaph 18]

For report of marriage in US we had to go to the New York City consulate due to us being married and living in Pennsylvania. Washington DC would've been closer and easier but somewhere we were instructed we had to go to NYC.

 

Now we need to go again for an affidavit of support and consent and special power of attorney for a minor child getting a new Philippines passport. Can we go to any Philippines consulate or embassy for that, or is it based on state like the record of marriage?

 

Thanks!

If you live in Pennsylvania your Consulate is NY. It's more about Jurisdiction than location.

So the DC consulate basically wouldn't help someone from PA?

They would only tell you to go to the consulate that handles your jurisdiction.
