Honorary Consul of Germany in Honolulu

German consulate in Honolulu
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.

This is the German honorary consulate for Hawaii, based in Honolulu and answering to San Francisco.

What this office can and cannot do

Honorary consuls work on an honorary basis, without a fee for their services, and their consular authority is limited by law.

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 San Francisco.

Visas are never issued by an honorary office, and neither are ID cards. Those two always mean a career mission.

If a matter is beyond what this office can do, it will point you to the career mission rather than leave you guessing.

How far your consulate general is

There is no practical road route from Honolulu to San Francisco. Anything this office cannot do means a flight, which is the reason to ask here first.

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.
