German consulate in Dover

Germany keeps no office in Dover. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of Washington, D.C..

Dover

You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Delaware that means Washington, D.C. and nowhere else.

The drive from Dover to Washington, D.C. is 97 miles and around 2 h 22 min on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.

Dover is in Kent County.

Go to the Embassy in Washington, D.C.

Nearby, in the same state: Wilmington (112 mi), Newark (100 mi).

The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Delaware page.

What you can settle without travelling

Not everything on the German paperwork list needs an appointment.

  • 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
  • Apply for a visa you may not need: a US passport gets you 90 days in Germany without one
  • 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
