What you can settle without travelling
Before working out the journey, check whether the office is involved at all.
- 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
- 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
Scottsdale is the first call from Phoenix or Tucson. Los Angeles is about 370 miles from Phoenix, which makes an early appointment slot the difference between one day and two.
