German consulate in Shreveport
People searching for a German consulate in Shreveport are looking for one that does not exist. The responsible mission is in Houston.
Shreveport
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Louisiana that means Houston and nowhere else.
Houston sits 249 miles from Shreveport, roughly 5 h 3 min by car before traffic. The appointment is the fixed point; the trip plans around it.
Caddo Parish County, where Shreveport sits, falls entirely within this consular district.
Louisiana has honorary consuls at New Orleans. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.
More Louisiana cities and their distance to the consulate: Baton Rouge (275 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Louisiana page.
What you can settle without travelling
Several of these procedures are handled elsewhere entirely.
- 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
- 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
