Visiting from Palo Alto, or sending the papers by mail
6 h 48 min on the road from Palo Alto rules out a same-day visit: the Los Angeles consulate takes papers only in the morning, so plan to sleep near Los Angeles.
For e-passport biometrics, its e-passport page gives a longer window that runs into the afternoon; its page here has both versions.
The Los Angeles consulate receives people without an appointment, with separate times for handing in and collecting papers.
Birth and marriage papers from Palo Alto for the NVR and the passport
