1. Purpose of the website

This website provides general information about the Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in Arizona and a selected range of consular services. It is informational only and does not constitute legal advice.

2. Official information and requirements

Official requirements, procedures, documents and availability are set by the German government and may change at any time. Official sources, including germany.info and the Consulate General, control that information. Confirm all specifics before relying on them.

Office visits are by appointment only, at 13951 N Scottsdale Rd #211, Scottsdale, AZ 85254. Appointment scheduling, confirmations and reminders are handled by the third-party booking platform embedded on this website. This website does not itself verify or guarantee a specific appointment.
