German consulate in Irving
People searching for a German consulate in Irving are looking for one that does not exist. The responsible mission is in Houston.
Irving
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Texas that means Houston and nowhere else.
Houston sits 255 miles from Irving, roughly 4 h 34 min by car before traffic. The appointment is the fixed point; the trip plans around it.
Dallas County, where Irving sits, falls entirely within this consular district. That makes it the 4th 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.
More Texas cities and their distance to the consulate: Fredericksburg (234 mi), Killeen (189 mi), New Braunfels (171 mi), San Antonio (191 mi), Arlington (260 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
Before working out the journey, check what can be done from home.
- 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
