What you can settle without travelling
A good share of German paperwork is settled by post or online.
- 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
- Send in a life certificate for your pension: there is a free digital route with a QR code, and a bank or a police station can sign the paper one
That line follows the commute rather than the map. If you are in Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Bridgeport or Danbury, your consulate is in Manhattan, not in Copley Place.
