German consulate in Kansas City, Missouri
Germany keeps no office in Kansas City. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of Chicago.
Kansas City
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Missouri that means Chicago and nowhere else.
The drive from Kansas City to Chicago is 512 miles and around 9 h 41 min on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.
Jackson County, where Kansas City sits, falls entirely within this consular district. That makes it the 2nd furthest of the 5 cities we list in Missouri.
Missouri has honorary consuls at Leawood, Saint Louis. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.

What you can settle without travelling
Part of what people travel for is settled by post or online.
- 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
- 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
