Chinese consulate in Birmingham: no office
There is no Chinese consulate in Birmingham. The office that covers you is Chinese Embassy in Washington, and it is not a choice.

What you can settle without going to the consulate
- fill in the whole visa form and upload your documents on COVA, without leaving home
- get a U.S. apostille from your Secretary of State. The consulate stopped authenticating documents in November 2023
- check whether your trip qualifies for the 240-hour visa-free transit before you pay for any visa at all
