German Embassy Washington

Welcome to the German Embassy in Washington, D.C.

The embassy is the official representation of the Federal Government of Germany in the United States. Our Visa, Passport and Legal Section provides services for US residents and German citizens within the Embassy's area of consular jurisdiction: Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Decades of US-German cooperation have created a tight-knit fabric of bonds across our entire relationship, making our partnership rock-solid. As we weather challenging times, I aim to further strengthen our relations, in Washington and across the US.
