Hattiesburg has no German consular office of its own. Consular matters here are handled by Atlanta.

Hattiesburg

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

From Hattiesburg the consulate general in Atlanta is 378 miles away, which a routing engine puts at 6 h 57 min without traffic.

Forrest County, where Hattiesburg sits, falls entirely within this consular district.

Mississippi has honorary consuls at Jackson. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.

Nearby, in the same state: Gulfport (401 mi).

What you can settle without travelling

A good share of German paperwork never reaches a consular counter.

• 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
