German consulate in Anaheim

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

Anaheim

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

Anaheim is 35 miles from Los Angeles, about 47 min of driving at posted speed limits and with no traffic. A real journey takes longer than that.

Anaheim sits in Orange County, and in this state the county is what decides the consulate rather than the city. That makes it the 12th furthest of the 14 cities we list in California.

California has honorary consuls at San Diego. 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

Some of this does not need the consulate 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

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.
