Getting from Santa Cruz to the office, or using the mail

From Santa Cruz, the 6 h 34 min drive and a counter that takes papers only in the morning add up to two days: one to arrive near Los Angeles, one at the Los Angeles consulate.

For e-passport biometrics, its e-passport page gives a longer window that runs into the afternoon; its page here has both versions.

No booking is needed at the Los Angeles consulate, according to its e-passport page.

Birth and marriage papers from Santa Cruz: which U.S. office issues them

For the NVR of a child born in Santa Cruz, the U.S. birth certificate comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento, and the California page has its fee (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).

If the marriage license was issued in Santa Cruz County, where Santa Cruz lies, the CDC’s directory for California points to the Santa Cruz County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) for the certified copy (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
