Getting from Valparaiso to the office, or using the mail

With 12 h 18 min of driving, you cannot reach the Embassy before its morning counter closes unless you leave in the night, so count on a night near Washington, D.C.

For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Valparaiso 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: Valparaiso keeps Central time and the Embassy Eastern time.

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

The birth certificate behind the NVR of a child born in Valparaiso is issued by the Indiana State Department of Health’s Vital Records office, in Indianapolis, and the Indiana page covers its fee and the apostille (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).

For a marriage license issued in Porter County, the county that includes Valparaiso, the CDC’s directory for Indiana sends you to the Clerk of the Circuit or Superior Court of Porter County (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
