How to book an appointment at the Indian consulate in Los Angeles
Most of what you want from Consulate General of India, Los Angeles starts somewhere else, at a VFS counter, so check which door you need before you book anything.
For anything VFS handles you book on the VFS portal, not on a consulate page. The consulate's own calendar covers notarial acts and emergencies.
The ICWF contribution goes in its own money order or cashier's check. One cheque for everything is a common reason for a file coming back.
Los Angeles, 90017
The national table prints two of these county names wrong, «Imperial Riverside» without the comma and «San Bernadino» without the r. They are two separate counties and the spelling is San Bernardino.
