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

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the German Embassy’s webpages. Here you will find information about the services we provide, including visas, passports, and other consular matters. The embassy is at your service and will be pleased to assist you.

You can also take a glimpse behind the scenes and learn about our daily work at Germany’s mission to the United States. Read about the different departments, take a look at the chancery and residence buildings, and enjoy the cultural events offered through a link to Washington’s Goethe-Institute.

Enjoy your visit, and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Klaus Scharioth

The Embassy

The Embassy is Germany`s representation in the United States. The Ambassador and the Foreign service officers maintain contacts with their US counterparts in the State Department and in other federal departments and public institutions. They also establish relationships with private institutions, organizations and individuals with connections to or interest in Germany. The embassy is also home to a Consulate (one of eight in the US), which provides visa services for those who would like to travel to Germany and a range of services for German citizens.

The Residence

The Residence of the Ambassador has become something of a modern architectural landmark in the city of Washington. Set on a hill near Georgetown, the stark, light limestone structure overlooks the city and the Potomac River.
