Honorary Consul of Germany in Anchorage

An honorary consul is not a consulate general. None of them issue visas, and only some can take a passport application. Fees are paid in cash in US dollars, and applying through one adds 105.00 € to the passport fee.

Anchorage is the German honorary office for Alaska. The career mission behind it is in San Francisco.

What this office can and cannot do

An honorary consul is a local point of contact, not a consulate general. The work is unpaid and done alongside another job.

The Federal Foreign Office does not say whether this office can take passport applications. That is not the same as saying it cannot: call and ask before assuming you have to travel to San Francisco.

Visas and German ID cards are outside every honorary consul's powers, here and everywhere else in the country.

There are no published counter hours. Email or call first and agree a time before travelling.

How far your consulate general is

San Francisco is 3076 miles away, around 65 h 19 min at posted speed limits. Nobody makes that trip twice for the same file, so get the document list confirmed before you set off.

What you can settle without travelling

Several of the most searched German procedures are handled entirely somewhere else.

Find out whether you are German at all: the dates of your family's emigration decide it, and you can work that out from your own records before anyone books an appointment
Track a passport that is already in progress: it is printed in Berlin and the six to eight weeks are set there, not at the counter that took your application
Order copies of German civil records for a citizenship file: those come from German municipalities by post, and they are the slowest part of any descent case
