German consulate in Danbury
Germany keeps no office in Danbury. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of Boston.
Danbury
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Connecticut that means Boston and nowhere else.
The drive from Danbury to Boston is 155 miles and around 3 h 10 min on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.
Danbury sits in Western Connecticut Planning Region County, and in this state the county is what decides the consulate rather than the city. That makes it the 3rd 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.
More Connecticut cities and their distance to the consulate: Waterbury (129 mi), Bridgeport (150 mi), Hartford (100 mi), Norwalk (165 mi), Stamford (173 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
Part of what people travel for 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
