What you can settle without travelling
A good share of German paperwork is settled by post or online.
- 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
- 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
Portland can take passport applications, and from Boise it is 430 miles against 650 to San Francisco. For most of the state Portland is the right answer.
