German consulate in Naperville
People searching for a German consulate in Naperville are looking for one that does not exist. The responsible mission is in Chicago.
Naperville
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. Illinois belongs to Chicago.
Chicago sits 32 miles from Naperville, roughly 49 min by car before traffic. The appointment is the fixed point; the trip plans around it.
The city lies in DuPage County. It is the closest of the 4 cities we list in Illinois.
Illinois has honorary consuls at Saint Louis. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.
The same question, answered for other Illinois cities: Rockford (86 mi), Springfield (203 mi), Aurora (42 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Illinois page.
What you can settle without travelling
Part of what people travel for is settled by post or online.
- 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.
