Which British consulate covers Long Beach?

California is split between Los Angeles (“southern California”) and San Francisco (“Northern California”), and gov.uk publishes no county list. We place Long Beach, in Los Angeles County, with the British Consulate General in Los Angeles; that is our reading, so check with either office if it matters.

Passports come from HM Passport Office and visas from UK Visas and Immigration, both online. The British Consulate General in Los Angeles handles emergency travel documents and some notarial work, by appointment.
