German consulate in Provo
Germany keeps no office in Provo. For anything consular, the city belongs to the district of Los Angeles.
Provo
You cannot apply to a mission that does not cover you. For Utah that means Los Angeles and nowhere else.
The drive from Provo to Los Angeles is 655 miles and around 11 h 30 min on an empty road. Add to that for the time of day you travel.
Utah County, where Provo sits, falls entirely within this consular district.
Utah also has honorary consuls, at Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City can take passport applications, which may be a much shorter journey than Los Angeles.
Nearby, in the same state: West Valley City (697 mi).
The full picture for the state, including every city and the other German offices in it, is on the Utah page.
What you can settle without travelling
A good share of German paperwork never reaches a consular counter.
- 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
- 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
