What you can settle without travelling

Some of the most searched German procedures never reach a consulate.

• 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

Jackson is explicitly listed as not able to process passport applications. That is a rare thing for the ministry to state outright, and it means the trip to Atlanta is unavoidable for a new passport.
