French consulate for the Channel Islands: which office covers you

French consulate for the Channel Islands

Jersey and Guernsey are not part of the United Kingdom, but the French directory files their honorary consuls under the Consulate General in London, and France-Visas includes both bailiwicks in its UK visa area.

Which French consulate covers the Channel Islands?

Jersey and Guernsey are served by the Consulate General of France in London: the official directory lists their honorary consuls under London, and London's passport page counts 17 honorary consuls in London's district, the same 17 the directory files there.

The Channel Islands also has two honorary consuls under the London consulate: Guernsey and Jersey. They issue no passports; any of them can hand one over if you ask for it when you apply.

Cities in the Channel Islands and their French consulate

City Nearest honorary consul (straight line) To the London consulate
St Helier Jersey, in the city by air or sea (181 miles in a straight line)
St Peter Port Guernsey, in the city by air or sea (175 miles in a straight line)

The Channel Islands has no road link to the London consulate: the nearest honorary consul is the practical stop for collecting a new document.

What you can settle without going to the consulate

Passports are still applied for in London. The honorary consuls in St Helier and St Peter Port can then hand them over, and they also take voting proxies and certify signatures and copies.
