Which British consulate covers Sacramento?

California is split between Los Angeles (“southern California”) and San Francisco (“Northern California”), and gov.uk publishes no county list. We place Sacramento, in Sacramento County, with the British Consulate General in San Francisco; 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 San Francisco handles emergency travel documents and some notarial work, by appointment.
