Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany
Germany.info is the joint website of the German Embassy, the German Information Center and the eight Consulates General in the United States. We offer information on consular and legal services from passport renewals to birth certificates to citizenship issues. In addition, Germany.info offers a wide variety of information on German foreign policy, climate policy, economy, culture, travel destinations and more. WE use the .INFo -Domain since approximately 2002.
Why did you choose a .INFO site (no more than 5000 characters)?:
At the time we made a conscious decision to move our website from the .org domain to the .info domain because it simply was more suited to our website's mission. Moreover, we already called ourselves "Germany Info," so with the .info domain our corporate identity was neatly integrated into our URL.
The Germany.info address is short, concise and to the point, and therefore, it is well suited for use in all forms of material and publications that we make available to the public, including promotional campaigns. The .info ending also reflects our mission of offering information. In addition, the word "info" is also equally understandable in the three languages of our website,English, German and Spanish.
