German consulate in Greenville
Germany keeps no office in Greenville. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of Atlanta.

What you can settle without travelling
Not everything on the German paperwork list needs an appointment.
- 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
