Annapolis
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. Maryland belongs to Washington, D.C..
From Annapolis the consulate general in Washington, D.C. is 35 miles away, which a routing engine puts at 57 min without traffic.
Anne Arundel County, where Annapolis sits, falls entirely within this consular district. That makes it the 2nd furthest of the 8 cities we list in Maryland.
The same question, answered for other Maryland cities: Germantown (25 mi), Hyattsville (10 mi), Silver Spring (8 mi), Baltimore (42 mi), Bowie (20 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Maryland page.
What you can settle without travelling
Several of these procedures are handled elsewhere entirely.
- Get a document apostilled: for a US document it is the Secretary of State of the issuing state; no German mission can do it
- Send in a life certificate for your pension: there is a free digital route with a QR code, and a bank or a police station can sign the paper one
- Apply for a visa you may not need: a US passport gets you 90 days in Germany without one
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.
