German consulate in Aurora, Colorado
Aurora has no German consular office of its own. Consular matters here are handled by Los Angeles.
Aurora
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Colorado that means Los Angeles and nowhere else.
From Aurora the consulate general in Los Angeles is 1,038 miles away, which a routing engine puts at 18 h 15 min without traffic.
Adams County, where Aurora sits, falls entirely within this consular district.
Colorado also has honorary consuls, at Denver. Denver can take passport applications, which may be a much shorter journey than Los Angeles.
More Colorado cities and their distance to the consulate: Fort Collins (1,087 mi), Colorado Springs (1,093 mi).

What you can settle without travelling
A good share of German paperwork never reaches a consular counter.
- 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
- 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
