This site’s census of organizations lists others, in their own words.
Your honorary consuls
The consulate general sits in Miami, but three honorary consuls cover the rest of the state. They are the first call from Central Florida: they receive by appointment and handle part of the paperwork without a trip to Miami.
| District | Honorary consul | Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Orlando | Brigitte Dagot-Jensen | (407) 923-2045 · francebrigitte@gmail.com |
| West Florida office in Clearwater | Anne Lancelle since December 2022 | (813) 368-3304 · agenceconsulairetampa@gmail.com |
| Jacksonville | François Kloc | (904) 422-7662 |
There is no honorary consul in Melbourne or on the Space Coast: the eastern end of the corridor is covered from Orlando.
This comes from the consulate general and changes without notice. When in doubt, it is the authority.
