German consulate in Topeka

There is no German consulate in Topeka. The mission that covers the city is the Consulate General in Chicago.

Topeka

Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. Kansas belongs to Chicago.

Topeka is 574 miles from Chicago, about 10 h 47 min of driving at posted speed limits and with no traffic. A real journey takes longer than that.

Shawnee County, where Topeka sits, falls entirely within this consular district. That makes it the 2nd 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.

What you can settle without travelling

Several of these procedures are handled elsewhere entirely.

  • 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
  • Get a document apostilled: for a US document it is the Secretary of State of the issuing state; no German mission can do it

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.
