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 Germany and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help German 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.
When is the office closed?
The honorary consulate is closed on Spanish public holidays as well as on the German national day, 3 October. In the Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands Day on 1 March is a regional holiday.
