German consulate in Fredericksburg

There is no German consulate in Fredericksburg. The mission that covers the city is the Consulate General in Houston.

Fredericksburg

Consular districts in the United States are fixed and published, so there is no choosing between missions. Texas belongs to Houston.

Fredericksburg is 234 miles from Houston, about 4 h 25 min of driving at posted speed limits and with no traffic. A real journey takes longer than that.

The city lies in Gillespie County. That makes it the 5th 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.

Other cities in Texas with a page of their own: Fort Worth (266 mi), Irving (255 mi), Killeen (189 mi), New Braunfels (171 mi), San Antonio (191 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

Check this list first: it often removes the trip.

  • 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

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.
