About the honorary consulate in Dresden
Honorary consul Viola Klein represents Finland in Saxony. Office hours are on Tuesday mornings.
Where do I apply for a passport or visa?
Finland has no career consulates in Germany, so the Finnish Embassy in Berlin is responsible for passports and ID cards nationwide. Apply online with the Finnish police and book a visit to give your fingerprints.

What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Finland and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Finnish citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
