What you can settle without travelling
A good share of German paperwork is settled by post or online.
- 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
- 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
Houston is around 890 miles from Albuquerque. That distance is the reason to call the honorary consul first and find out what can be done without the trip.
