German consulate in Queens
There is no German consulate in Queens. The mission that covers the city is the Consulate General in New York.
Queens
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. New York belongs to New York.
Queens is 11 miles from New York, about 20 min of driving at posted speed limits and with no traffic. A real journey takes longer than that.
Queens County, where Queens sits, falls entirely within this consular district. That makes it the 10th furthest of the 11 cities we list in New York.
New York also has honorary consuls, at Buffalo. Buffalo can take passport applications, which may be a much shorter journey than New York.
Other cities in New York with a page of their own: Albany (148 mi), Bronx (10 mi), Brooklyn (11 mi), Hempstead (25 mi), Mount Vernon (16 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the New York page.
What you can settle without travelling
Check this list first: it often removes the trip.
- 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
- 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
