Service hours
Passport and civil-status counters publish the same window: Monday to Friday, 09:00–13:00. Visa applications are accepted on Monday and Wednesday, 09:00–13:00, without an appointment. Visa collection is on Friday, 09:00–13:00.
These are service-specific times. They are not proof that every embassy counter follows the same hours. Check the relevant official page before setting out, particularly around public holidays.
One contact tab labels +49 30 43737 214 as a phone number, but the page footer and Algeria's central diplomatic directory both identify it as fax. Use the service telephone numbers listed above for calls.
Choose the right service before you travel
The Berlin mission publishes separate routes for passports and consular registration, civil status and legalisation, social and legal matters, and visas. A document list or submission method for one route should not be assumed to apply to another.
Passports and consular registration
Consular registration is intended for Algerian nationals established abroad. The embassy page says that the consular card is free and valid for five years. It describes first registration as an in-person procedure at the consular section responsible for the applicant's residence.
Civil status and legalisation
The mission lists civil-status work, legalisation and document certification as a service family. Use the relevant official instructions for the current documents, format and submission route; the checked material does not establish one universal checklist.
Social and legal matters
Social and legal work has its own service channel. Contact the embassy with the nature of the request before travelling if the public portal does not show a complete procedure.
Visas
The visa page covers tourist, business, study, work, family, medical, cultural, press, transit and official categories. Supporting documents differ by category, so use the official list that matches the purpose of travel.
Berlin or Frankfurt: check which post covers you
The embassy pages allocate Berlin, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt to the Berlin mission.
North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, Lower Saxony, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Thuringia are assigned to the Consulate General in Frankfurt. State your German state and postcode when asking for confirmation. The checked sources do not prove that every type of consular document follows an identical jurisdiction rule, so confirm the post for the particular procedure.
Why this check matters
Posting a file to the wrong office can delay the application or lead to its return. Confirm jurisdiction before paying a fee, booking travel or sending original documents.

Applying for an Algerian visa from Germany
The Berlin visa page accepts applications through specialised agencies or by post. For the postal route, it publishes the following service address: Algerische Botschaft, Visaabteilung, Görschstraße 45–46, 13187 Berlin. This 45–46 address belongs to the visa postal procedure; the general chancery address remains Görschstraße 45.
Postal applicants are asked to include a self-addressed return envelope with sufficient postage. The mission warns that incomplete or incorrectly formatted applications are rejected and that it accepts no responsibility for documents lost in the post. Read the full procedure before sending originals and keep suitable proof of dispatch.
The page states a minimum processing period of 14 days from the competent visa section's receipt of the documents. This is a minimum, not a guaranteed completion date and not a promise that a visa will be issued. Allow more time than the published minimum and do not commit to non-refundable travel until the passport has been returned.
| Check | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Competent post | Whether your German state and exact service fall under Berlin or Frankfurt. |
| Current document list | The form, photographs, passport, insurance and supporting papers required for your visa category. |
| Submission method | Whether you will use the published postal route or a specialised agency, and how return delivery must be prepared. |
| Timing | The service window and enough time beyond the stated 14-day minimum. |
Details that should be confirmed directly
The official pages checked for this guide do not provide a current ambassador name, a universal appointment rule, a Germany-specific fee and payment table, or one completion time for all services. They also do not define the published hotline as an emergency-only service or state its hours and international reachability.
Do not treat silence on these points as permission or refusal. Ask the responsible service, give enough detail to identify your procedure, and keep the reply with the application record.
