Which Portuguese consulate serves Southaven

Mississippi 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 Southaven go.

A routing engine puts the drive at 883 miles and 16 h 21 min, at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line it is 764 miles.

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

Closer in a straight line, 633 miles away, is the Consular Office in Palm Coast; but the published split gives Mississippi to the Consular Section of the Embassy in Washington.

Closer, 338 miles away in a straight line, is the honorary consulate in New Orleans. Its entry on the Portal das Comunidades lists no delegated powers, so passports and Citizen Cards are handled at the consulate.

The U.S. papers from Southaven the consulate asks for

Registering a child born here and transcribing a marriage both take U.S. papers. The birth certificate comes from the Vital Records office of the State Department of Health (CDC).

If your marriage license came from DeSoto County, where Southaven is, ask the DeSoto County Circuit Clerk for the certificate (CDC); for the marriage transcription it needs an apostille.

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