Cities in Arkansas and how far the consulate is
| City | Consulate | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Fayetteville | Houston | 574 mi · 10 h 18 min |
| Fort Smith | Houston | 518 mi · 9 h 21 min |
| Jonesboro | Houston | 571 mi · 10 h 40 min |
Distances are road distances at posted speed limits and without traffic, so a real journey takes longer.
What you can settle without travelling
Part of what people drive to a consulate for does not need 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
- 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
Little Rock is listed as not able to process passport applications. Houston is about 440 miles south, and there is no nearer German office that can take one.
