Honorary Consul of Germany in Little Rock

German consulate in Little Rock
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.

Germany keeps an honorary consul in Little Rock to serve Arkansas, under the supervision of the mission in Houston. The Federal Foreign Office does not name a supervising mission for this office, so we give the consulate general that covers Arkansas.

What this office can and cannot do

Honorary consuls work on an honorary basis, without a fee for their services, and their consular authority is limited by law.

This office cannot take passport applications. The Federal Foreign Office states it plainly, so a new German passport means going to Houston.

Visas are never issued by an honorary office, and neither are ID cards. Those two always mean a career mission.

It is worth starting here even for things that end up elsewhere: the office knows the local situation.

How far your consulate general is

The consulate general in Houston is 445 miles from here, roughly 8 h 26 min of driving without traffic. That is a long day out and back, so it is worth confirming by email what can be settled locally first.

What you can settle without travelling

Some of what people book an appointment 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

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.
