British consulate in Pasadena

You won't find a British consulate in Pasadena; the office for this area is elsewhere. Pasadena falls under the British Consulate General in Los Angeles, which sits 21 miles away, a drive of roughly 36 min.

Which British consulate covers Pasadena?

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

gov.uk lists two services by appointment at the British Consulate General in Los Angeles: emergency travel documents and notarial or documentary services. Passports and visas are handled online from the UK.
