The office’s clock runs 1 hour ahead of the one in New Iberia.

Distance does not decide the office: the Consular Office in Palm Coast is 636 miles away in a straight line, and Louisiana belongs to the Consular Section of the Embassy in Washington.

The nearest honorary consulate in a straight line is the honorary consulate in New Orleans, 113 miles away. Its entry on the Portal das Comunidades lists no delegated powers, so passports and Citizen Cards are handled at the consulate.
