Visiting from Indianapolis, or sending the papers by mail

11 h 9 min on the road from Indianapolis rules out a same-day visit: the Embassy takes papers only in the morning, so plan to sleep near Washington, D.C.

For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Indianapolis means arriving the day before.

At the Embassy, the e-passport enrollment slot comes from the national portal, while the NVR is handled the same day without an appointment.

Birth and marriage papers from Indianapolis for the NVR and the passport

In Indiana, a child born in Indianapolis needs a birth certificate from the Indiana State Department of Health’s Vital Records office, in Indianapolis for the NVR, with the fee on the Indiana page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).

If the marriage license was issued in Marion County, where Indianapolis lies, the CDC’s directory for Indiana points to the Clerk of the Circuit or Superior Court of Marion County for the certified copy (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
