Handing in your documents and application form in person at the Consulate General is not necessary (only exceptions: Submitting an application for naturalization and naturalization of former German citizens). In case you decide to hand in your documents and your application through postal courier, you will have to obtain certified copies according to German standards of all the necessary documents through a notary public or a German Honorary Consul and forward those to the Consulate or Federal Administration Office. If you book an appointment here to hand in your application and documents, the certified copies would be done at the Consulate free of charge. Please note that if you book an appointment, there is no need to bring copies of the documents that are to be submitted, as the copies must be done by the Consular Officer to be able to certify them. Please bring a duly filled and signed application form.

If the application you would like to submit requires a Police Clearance certificate from the US, please make sure to bring it with you to the appointment. You can find more information on this here.
