Chinese consulates in District of Columbia

The Chinese Embassy is in the District itself, which makes this the only territory in the country where the consular office is a local address.
China divides the United States among four consulates general and the Embassy in Washington. District of Columbia falls to one of them, and only that one can accept an application from a resident here.

Cities in District of Columbia and their consulate
This territory has no other cities in the directory: the office is in the city itself.
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
Nothing here needs an appointment, so the only thing to plan is the drive.
