German consulate in Bridgeport
No German mission is based in Bridgeport. The office for this part of Connecticut is in Boston.
Bridgeport
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. Connecticut belongs to Boston.
Between Bridgeport and Boston there are 150 miles, some 3 h 4 min of driving at the speed limit.
Bridgeport sits in Greater Bridgeport Planning Region County, and in this state the county is what decides the consulate rather than the city. That makes it the 4th furthest of the 6 cities we list in Connecticut.
Connecticut has honorary consuls at New Haven. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.
Other cities in Connecticut with a page of their own: Stamford (173 mi), Waterbury (129 mi), Danbury (155 mi), Hartford (100 mi), Norwalk (165 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Connecticut page.
What you can settle without travelling
Several of these procedures are handled elsewhere entirely.
- 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
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.
