French Embassy & Consulates in Germany

At Pariser Platz 5, 10117 Berlin, the French embassy represents France towards Germany. The head of mission on record is François Marie Delattre, Ambassador. Its phone number and website are on its page.

France also has 6 consulates general in Stuttgart, Saarbrücken, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main and Düsseldorf; consulates handle passports, civil registration and, for many countries, visa applications for their district.

France has 12 honorary consulates in Germany, in Weimar, Saarlouis, Nuremberg, Münster, Mannheim, Leipzig, Cologne, Hanover, Freiburg im Breisgau, Bremen and 2 more; an honorary consul offers first help and passes documents on, but visas and passports are issued elsewhere.

As Germany and France both belong to the European free movement area, German citizens need only a valid ID card or passport for France.

In return, Germany has 24 missions in France, including its embassy in Paris.
