German consulate in Lowell

There is no German consulate in Lowell. The mission that covers the city is the Consulate General in Boston.

Lowell

You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Massachusetts that means Boston and nowhere else.

Lowell is 28 miles from Boston, about 45 min of driving at posted speed limits and with no traffic. A real journey takes longer than that.

Lowell is in Middlesex County. That makes it the 3rd furthest of the 4 cities we list in Massachusetts.

Nearby, in the same state: Brockton (29 mi), Cambridge (4 mi), Springfield (88 mi).

The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Massachusetts 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

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.
