German consulate in Waterbury
No German mission is based in Waterbury. The office for this part of Connecticut is in Boston.
Waterbury
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Connecticut that means Boston and nowhere else.
Between Waterbury and Boston there are 129 miles, some 2 h 37 min of driving at the speed limit.
Waterbury sits in Naugatuck Valley Planning Region County, and in this state the county is what decides the consulate rather than the city. That makes it the 5th 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: Norwalk (165 mi), Stamford (173 mi), Bridgeport (150 mi), Danbury (155 mi), Hartford (100 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
Check this list first: it often removes the trip.
- 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
