Cities in Alaska and how far the consulate is
| City | Consulate | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Fairbanks | San Francisco | 2,960 mi · 62 h 41 min |
| Juneau | San Francisco | 2,707 mi · 64 h 7 min |
Distances are road distances at posted speed limits and without traffic, so a real journey takes longer.
What you can settle without travelling
Some of the most searched German procedures never reach a consulate.
- Order a German birth, marriage or death certificate: the registry office of the German town where it happened issues it, and most of them take an online or postal request
- Get a certificate of conduct: the Federal Office of Justice handles it; any US notary public can notarize your signature on the form
- Get a document apostilled: for a US document it is the Secretary of State of the issuing state; no German mission can do it
There is no road to San Francisco that anyone drives for an appointment. Work out with Anchorage what can be done without flying, and book the flight only for what cannot.
