What you can settle without travelling
Before working out the journey, check whether the office is involved at all.
- Get a document apostilled: for a US document it is the Secretary of State of the issuing state; no German mission can do it
- Send in a life certificate for your pension: there is a free digital route with a QR code, and a bank or a police station can sign the paper one
- Apply for a visa you may not need: a US passport gets you 90 days in Germany without one
That distance makes the paperwork you can do by post unusually valuable here. German civil records, certificates of conduct and pension life certificates all avoid the flight entirely.
