Welcome to the New Germany.info!

We have officially launched the redesigned, streamlined, modernized, fully integrated website of the German Embassy, the German Consulates General and the German Information Center USA.

With this new site, we have taken the features you already like–videos, interactive games, news, cultural events–added more interesting and informative features and combined them with a great new design and easy-to-use menu to make your experience on Germany.info even better.

Help us celebrate and spread the word about the new Germany.info by taking part in our Spot the Bus Contest, E-Mail A Friend campaign and Germany.info Gift Emporium. All three offer cool prizes and a chance to show us your creativity.

Features that make the new Germany.info special:

Integrated site

For the first time, Germany.info fully integrates the German Embassy, the eight German Consulates in the United States, and the German Information Center USA into one website. See our logo in the upper left corner? We are the website of the German Missions in the United States.

Easy access to visa/passport info

First and foremost, all visa, passport and other consular services information is clearly laid out and easy to access. Now you can use an interactive map to find the German Consulate General, or Embassy, that serves you. You can then easily use that Consulate’s website to find directions, opening hours and other information specific to that location. Also for the first time, Germany’s Honorary Consuls in the United States each have a page on Germany.info. The German version of the site also now features comprehensive consular and legal information.

More videos and fun stuff

The new Germany.info features short videos more prominently—from informative films on renewable energy, for example, to skits on learning German. Of course, we’ll also keep running and expand our popular quizzes and interactive contests.
