CHICAGO 17 October 2023 – The Philippine Consulate General in Chicago proceeded to Bismarck, North Dakota on 14 October 2023 to conduct its last consular mission for the year and a field Overseas Voting (OV) Registration. The one-day event was held at the Bismarck Veterans Memorial Library, 515 N 5th St, Bismarck, ND 58501 (some 835 miles away from the Consulate General).
The Consulate General’s team, headed by Consul General J. Susana V. Paez, provided a total of 135 passport, dual-citizenship and other services to consular clients residing in North Dakota and other nearby states. In addition, the team also processed 102 OV Registration applications.
Those who availed of the consular and OV services during the event expressed their appreciation, since this meant that they no longer have to drive for thirteen (13) hours to the Consulate General in Chicago, or take multiple flights due to the non-availability of a direct flight to the said city.
