What you can settle without travelling

Before working out the journey, check what can be done from home.

  • 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

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.
