German Consulate New York: Events & Visitor Basics

The Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany is at 871 United Nations Plaza, on First Avenue between 48th and 49th Streets. It covers New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Fairfield County in Connecticut, and Bermuda.

All passport, visa, citizenship and certification visits need an appointment booked online, and walk-ins are not admitted. Waiting times can be long, so book early. Short-term Schengen visa appointments go through the external provider BLS International. Phone hours and numbers change, so check the official page.

The consulate and German House also host public talks, receptions and cultural events. Those we can verify are listed below. Many require registration or an invitation, which is noted on each event.
