German consulate in Phoenix

There is no German consulate in Phoenix. The mission that covers the city is the Consulate General in Los Angeles.

Phoenix

You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Arizona that means Los Angeles and nowhere else.

Phoenix is 383 miles from Los Angeles, about 6 h 57 min of driving at posted speed limits and with no traffic. A real journey takes longer than that.

Maricopa County, where Phoenix sits, falls entirely within this consular district. It is the closest of the 4 cities we list in Arizona.

Arizona has honorary consuls at Scottsdale. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.

What you can settle without travelling

A good share of German paperwork never reaches a consular counter.

  • Send in a life certificate for your pension: there is a free digital route with a QR code, and a bank or a police station can sign the paper one
  • Apply for a visa you may not need: a US passport gets you 90 days in Germany without one
  • 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

This is an independent directory of German consular offices in the United States. It is not operated by the Federal Foreign Office or by any German mission. Fees, opening hours and requirements change: always confirm them with the office before you travel.
