Visiting from Gary, or sending the papers by mail
The Embassy is 12 h 21 min from Gary by road, too far to reach its morning counter on the day you leave: book a night near Washington, D.C.
For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Gary means arriving the day before.
The Embassy books the e-passport visit inside the national portal, epassport.gov.bd, and says it cannot book those slots itself, while an NVR is walk-in.
Mind the clock: Gary keeps Central time and the Embassy Eastern time.
Birth and marriage papers from Gary for the NVR and the passport
The Indiana State Department of Health’s Vital Records office, in Indianapolis issues the U.S. birth certificate that the NVR of a child born in Gary asks for, and the Indiana page gives its fee (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
For a marriage license issued in Lake County, the county that includes Gary, the CDC’s directory for Indiana sends you to the Clerk of the Circuit or Superior Court of Lake County (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
