What you can settle without travelling

Before working out the journey, check whether the office is involved at all.

  • 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
  • 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

Being local does not change the process. The Legal and Consular Section works by appointment, and the passport still takes six to eight weeks because it is printed in Berlin.
