Which Portuguese consulate serves Lexington

Kentucky is on the jurisdiction list of the Consular Section of the Embassy in Washington (source), so that is where citizen cards, passports and registry acts from Lexington go.

The fastest route covers 510 miles and takes about 9 h 39 min without traffic; the straight-line distance is 407 miles.

Lexington keeps the office’s time, summer and winter.

The honorary consulate in Indianapolis is 149 miles away in a straight line. Its entry on the Portal das Comunidades lists no delegated powers, so passports and Citizen Cards are handled at the consulate.

Lexington is in Fayette County: for a marriage license issued there, the certificate comes from the Fayette County Court Clerk, according to the CDC directory (CDC). That certificate, with an apostille, is what goes with the marriage transcription.

To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in Kentucky it is issued by the Kentucky Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
