German consulate in Yonkers
Germany keeps no office in Yonkers. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of New York.
Yonkers
Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. New York belongs to New York.
The drive from Yonkers to New York is 16 miles and around 29 min on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.
Yonkers is in Westchester County. That makes it the 8th 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: Mount Vernon (16 mi), New Rochelle (19 mi), Queens (11 mi), Rochester (317 mi), Staten Island (21 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
Some of this does not need the consulate 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
