German consulate in Georgia
Georgia is where the consulate general itself sits, in Peachtree Center downtown. That makes it the shortest trip in a district that runs from the Mississippi to the Atlantic.
Which German office covers Georgia
Georgia belongs to the consular district of the Consulate General in Atlanta, which also covers Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Cities in Georgia and how far the consulate is
| City | Consulate | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Augusta | Atlanta | 149 mi · 2 h 47 min |
| Columbus | Atlanta | 109 mi · 2 h 5 min |
| Lawrenceville | Atlanta | 31 mi · 41 min |
| Marietta | Atlanta | 19 mi · 26 min |
| Savannah | Atlanta | 249 mi · 4 h 36 min |
| Stone Mountain | Atlanta | 16 mi · 26 min |
Distances are road distances at posted speed limits and without traffic, so a real journey takes longer.
What you can settle without travelling
Several German procedures are handled entirely outside the consular network.
- 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 in the same state as the consulate does not mean walking in. Every consular service here runs on the appointment system, and passport slots are the first to go.
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.
