Cities in Maine and how far the consulate is

Mileage is reliable; the times assume an empty road and no stops.

What you can settle without travelling

Several German procedures are handled entirely outside the consular network.

• 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

Portland is not listed as able to take passport applications. Boston is about two hours south, which is the shortest trip to a passport counter in northern New England.
