INTRODUCING THE NEW HONORARY GERMAN CONSULATE IN ST.LOUIS

Paul Obernuefemann is recognized and respected as the Chief Information Officer (CIO) of one of Missouri’s leading law firms, Lewis Rice LLC, with offices in both Saint Louis and Kansas City. He has been very active in area German-American organizations for the past 10 years, including the St. Louis-Stuttgart Sister Cities, as well as the German American Heritage Society of Saint Louis, where Paul has actively served on their Board of Directors for the past six years. The Saint Louis office is one of only four mid-western German Honorary Consulates with the special capability to locally process German biometric passport applications and avoid a long trip to Chicago.  This function represents 90% of the consulate’s activity. Based upon Paul’s extensive professional IT knowledge and skills, he is particularly qualified to effectively operate and maintain this special German computer system that captures and encrypts each applicant’s unique biometric data set. Paul is also been trained in providing basic signature certifications and notarized copies, which play an important role in many of the convenient, alphabetically listed, consular services on the website  http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/03__Consulates/Chicago/03/__Legal.html

Paul’s new St. Louis German Honorary Consulate street address, telephone number are: Paul R. Obernuefemann, Honorary Consul, Federal Republic of Germany, 600 Washington Ave. St. Louis, MO. 63101, Telephone: 618-632- 1300.  His Consulate office hours will be every other Saturday from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm, and every other Wednesday evening 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm, starting on Wednesday 6 July. Please e-mail Paul to reserve a specific date and time for an appointment.  His email is st-louis@hk-diplo.de
