German Embassy & Consulates in the Netherlands

At Groot Hertoginnelaan 20, 2517EG 's-Gravenhage, the German embassy represents Germany towards the Netherlands. The head of mission on record is Tania von Uslar-Gleichen, Ambassador. Its phone number and website are on its page.

Germany also has a consulate general in Amsterdam; its work is consular: passports and documents for its own citizens and, often, visas for visitors.

Germany has 6 honorary consulates in the Netherlands, in Wierden, Rotterdam, Middelburg, Maastricht, Groningen and Almelo; honorary consulates handle emergencies and simple certifications rather than visas or passports.

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

In return, the Netherlands has 16 missions in Germany, including its embassy in Berlin.
