Overview
The Honorary Consulate of Iceland in Cuxhaven serves as a local contact point for Icelandic citizens in the Lower Saxony coastal region. The Honorary Consul is Mr. Wolf-Rüdiger Dick. Cuxhaven sits at the mouth of the Elbe on the North Sea coast and has long-standing connections to Iceland through the fishing industry — Cuxhaven was historically one of Germany's major deep-sea fishing ports, and Icelandic waters were a primary destination for Cuxhaven trawlers. The consulate can authenticate documents and provide initial guidance but refers passport, visa, and complex consular matters to the Embassy of Iceland in Berlin.
Service Area
The consulate covers the Cuxhaven district and surrounding Lower Saxony coastal region. For full consular services, contact the Embassy of Iceland in Berlin (+49 30 7001 60380, berlin@mfa.is).
