German consulate in Fort Worth

Germany keeps no office in Fort Worth. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of Houston.

Fort Worth

You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Texas that means Houston and nowhere else.

The drive from Fort Worth to Houston is 266 miles and around 4 h 50 min on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.

Fort Worth is in Tarrant County. That makes it the 2nd furthest of the 8 cities we list in Texas.

Texas has honorary consuls at Austin, Dallas. They handle local questions and forward documents, and none of them is listed as able to take passport applications.

Nearby, in the same state: El Paso (741 mi), Fredericksburg (234 mi), Irving (255 mi), Killeen (189 mi), New Braunfels (171 mi).

The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Texas page.

What you can settle without travelling

Not everything on the German paperwork list needs an appointment.

• 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
• Get a certificate of conduct: the Federal Office of Justice handles it; any US notary public can notarize your signature on the form

This is an independent directory of German consular offices in the United States. It is not operated by the Federal Foreign Office or by any German mission. Fees, opening hours and requirements change: always confirm them with the office before you travel.
