Working/Consular hours: Monday to Friday, 9.30 - 12.30 (by appointment only) 

NOTE: Please note that if you are an Irish citizen and require urgent assistance while the Embassy is closed, contact the main Embassy number, + 49 30 220 720, and leave a message on the Duty Officer voice mailbox. This is the only continuously monitored way of contacting the Embassy outside of office hours.

The Embassy works to pursue opportunities to enhance the political and economic relationship between Ireland and Germany that will deliver economic growth and jobs; maintain and enhance links with Irish diaspora; and promote Ireland and the Irish Arts.

The Embassy can assist with the following:

• Support Irish companies who want to access the German market
• Provide general advice on doing business locally and, through our network of contacts, pursue opportunities that will benefit Ireland
• Work to secure market access for Irish products in key sectors
• Promote Ireland as a location for tourism and for investment

Foreign governments and organisations sometimes require that documents be authenticated before they accept them. In the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade they can authenticate documents that were created in Ireland. Embassies of Ireland abroad can legalise documents that were created abroad so that they are acceptable for use in Ireland. Please note the Authentication of Documents Section of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Dublin has moved office premises from 30 June 2014.

A new appointments system is in operation at the Embassy for consular, visa and passport services since April 2014. Appointments are available Monday to Friday 9.30 - 12.30. To make an appointment please contact or call +49 (0)30 220720 (please call only between 9.30 and 12.30 in the morning and 14.30 and 16.30 in the afternoon).

All services (Passport applications, Visa applications, Foreign Birth Registration) can be delivered by post without coming to the Embassy. Passport applications forms can be ordered online. Visa applications are available online only. In the event of a consular emergency (death, serious illness of an Irish citizen in Germany) please ring the Embassy for assistance. An out-of-hours emergency service is also available. When the Embassy is closed you will be referred to an emergency phone answering service.

NOTE: The Embassy does not accept credit, cash or debit cards. The Embassy accepts Euro-cheques drawn from a German bank account. Fees can also be paid by bank transfer ("Überweisung") from a German bank account.
