What you can settle without travelling

Check this list first: it often removes the trip.

  • 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
  • Apply for a visa you may not need: a US passport gets you 90 days in Germany without one
