What you can settle without travelling
Before working out the journey, check whether the office is involved at all.
- 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
- Get a document apostilled: for a US document it is the Secretary of State of the issuing state; no German mission can do it
Neither is listed as taking passport applications. Chicago is about 300 miles from Saint Louis and 500 from Kansas City.
