British consulates in Hawaii

Hawaii is covered by Los Angeles. VFS Global lists a premium visa center in Honolulu, but there is no British consular office in the islands.

Which British consulate covers Hawaii?

gov.uk lists Hawaii in the district of the British Consulate General in Los Angeles, the office that handles emergency travel documents, notarial appointments and consular help for people here (its district on gov.uk).

What you can settle without going to the consulate

Here is what you can settle without the drive.

  • You can request a J1 no objection statement online from the Embassy: J1 no objection.
  • You can renew an adult British passport online with HM Passport Office, which sends it back by courier: Passport renewal.
  • You can apply for a first passport for a child born in the U.S., and your countersignatory may hold a U.S. passport: First or child passport.
  • For visas, the place you visit is a VFS Global center, not the consulate.
