German consulate in Overland Park
Germany keeps no office in Overland Park. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of Chicago.
Overland Park
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Kansas that means Chicago and nowhere else.
The drive from Overland Park to Chicago is 525 miles and around 10 h on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.
The city lies in Johnson County. That makes it the 3rd furthest of the 4 cities we list in Kansas.
Kansas has honorary consuls at Leawood. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.
Nearby, in the same state: Topeka (574 mi), Wichita (710 mi), Kansas City (514 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Kansas page.
What you can settle without travelling
Before working out the journey, check what can be done from home.
- 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
- Get a certificate of conduct: the Federal Office of Justice handles it; any US notary public can notarize your signature on the form
