Honorary Consul of Germany in Orlando

German consulate in Orlando
An honorary consul is not a consulate general. None of them issue visas, and only some can take a passport application. Fees are paid in cash in US dollars, and applying through one adds 105.00 € to the passport fee.

The honorary consul in Orlando covers Florida, and reports to the Consulate General in Miami.

What this office can and cannot do

The office is honorary, which changes what it can do rather than how helpful it is.

The Federal Foreign Office does not say whether this office can take passport applications. That is not the same as saying it cannot: call and ask before assuming you have to travel to Miami.

No honorary consul issues visas or German ID cards. Those are limited to the embassy and the eight consulates general.

Availability depends on the consul's own working week, so an appointment arranged by email is the way in.

How far your consulate general is

The consulate general in Miami is 234 miles from here, roughly 4 h 23 min of driving without traffic. That is a long day out and back, so it is worth confirming by email what can be settled locally first.

What you can settle without travelling

A good part of German paperwork never touches a consulate.

  • 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
  • Get a certificate of conduct: the Federal Office of Justice handles it; any US notary public can notarize your signature on the form

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.
