Cities in Colorado and how far the consulate is

| Colorado Springs | Los Angeles | 1,093 mi · 19 h 12 min |

Distances are road distances at posted speed limits and without traffic, so a real journey takes longer.
What you can settle without travelling
A good share of German paperwork is settled by post or online.
- 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
- Get a document apostilled: for a US document it is the Secretary of State of the issuing state; no German mission can do it
Denver can take passport applications, which for most of the Rocky Mountain West is the single most useful fact on this page. Los Angeles is over 1,000 miles away.
