Hours not published by the consulate

Call+1 415-775-1061 AppointmentHow to book DirectionsGoogle Maps

In person at the German Embassy, your responsible Consulate General or certain Honorary Consuls, by appointment. Fingerprints are taken at the appointment, so there is no mail or online application.

Step by step

  1. Find the German mission that covers your state with the Consulate Finder.
  2. Book an appointment online. Passport and ID card applications need separate appointments. The booking system does not work with the Safari browser.
  3. Fill in the application form and gather all original documents.
  4. Attend the appointment in person and give your fingerprints.
  5. Pay the fee by Visa or Mastercard (charged in euros), or by cash or money order in US dollars. Checks are not accepted.
  6. Wait about six to eight weeks for the passport. Some missions ask for a prepaid return envelope; your booking confirmation will say so.
