What you can settle without travelling
Before working out the journey, check whether the office is involved at all.
- 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
- 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
New Haven is listed as not able to process passport applications, so for that there is no shortcut: Boston, about an hour up I-95.
