German consulate in Savannah
There is no German consulate in Savannah. The mission that covers the city is the Consulate General in Atlanta.
Savannah
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Georgia that means Atlanta and nowhere else.
Savannah is 249 miles from Atlanta, about 4 h 36 min of driving at posted speed limits and with no traffic. A real journey takes longer than that.
Chatham County, where Savannah sits, falls entirely within this consular district. Of the 6 cities we list in Georgia, this is the furthest from Atlanta.
Georgia has honorary consuls at Charleston. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.
More Georgia cities and their distance to the consulate: Augusta (149 mi), Columbus (109 mi), Lawrenceville (31 mi), Marietta (19 mi), Stone Mountain (16 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Georgia page.
What you can settle without travelling
Some of this does not need the consulate at all.
- 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
- 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
