German Consulate General in Miami

Miami is the smallest district by number of states and one of the widest by distance. It covers Florida, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, so half of it is reached by air. The consulate is on North Biscayne Boulevard, in downtown Miami, and it is one of the few missions that publishes a general email address.

What this office does

Everything that needs a consular officer in a room happens at one of nine offices, and this is one of them.

• German passports, including the fingerprints every application needs
• German ID cards, which honorary consuls cannot issue
• Name declarations, registrations of birth and of marriage
• Certification of signatures and certified copies
• Forwarding citizenship files to the Federal Office of Administration in Cologne

Applications arriving by post are not processed, so the journey is unavoidable for anything biometric.

What you can settle without travelling

Before you plan the trip, check whether your matter needs the office at all.

• 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
• 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

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.
