Note: The Chinese Consulate General in Houston was closed in late July 2020. Since then, all consular services (including visas, passports, notarization, and authentication) previously handled by the Houston consulate have been transferred to the Chinese Embassy in the United States.
On June 29, 2024, following mutual consultations, China and the U.S. reached an agreement on adjusting the consular jurisdiction divisions of each other’s diplomatic missions. The updated jurisdictions for Chinese consulates in the U.S. are as follows:
| Consulates/Embassy | Jurisdiction |
|---|---|
| Chinese Embassy in the United States | Washington, D.C.; Maryland; Virginia; West Virginia; North Carolina; South Carolina; Kentucky; Tennessee; Delaware |
| (Also overseeing former Houston Consulate jurisdiction) | Alabama; Arkansas; Florida; Georgia; Louisiana; Mississippi; Oklahoma; Texas; Puerto Rico |
| Chinese Consulate General in New York | Connecticut; Maine; Massachusetts; New Hampshire; New Jersey; New York; Ohio; Pennsylvania; Vermont; Rhode Island |
| Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco | Northern California; Alaska; Nevada; Oregon; Washington; Idaho; Montana; Wyoming |
| Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles | Southern California; Arizona; New Mexico; Utah; Colorado; Hawaii; U.S. Pacific Islands |
| Chinese Consulate General in Chicago | Illinois; Indiana; Iowa; Kansas; Michigan; Minnesota; Missouri; Wisconsin; Nebraska; North Dakota; South Dakota |
This table clearly outlines which Chinese diplomatic mission in the U.S. handles visa and consular services for each state/territory. Always verify the latest updates on the official Chinese Visa Net before applying.
