German consulate in Great Falls
Germany keeps no office in Great Falls. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of San Francisco.
Great Falls
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Montana that means San Francisco and nowhere else.
The drive from Great Falls to San Francisco is 1,189 miles and around 20 h 31 min on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.
Great Falls is in Cascade County.
Montana also has honorary consuls, at Seattle. Seattle can take passport applications, which may be a much shorter journey than San Francisco.
More Montana cities and their distance to the consulate: Missoula (983 mi), Billings (1,172 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Montana page.
What you can settle without travelling
Not everything on the German paperwork list needs an appointment.
- 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
