Bangladesh consulate in Bowie

Checked against the official pages on 22 October 2026. How we check.

Bangladesh has no consulate in Bowie. The road trip to the Embassy’s consular wing in Washington is 18 miles, about 40 min at the speed limit.

Which Bangladesh consulate serves Bowie?

The three consulates general cover eight states each; Maryland is not one of them, so the Embassy’s list sends it to Washington (Embassy list of districts).

Getting from Bowie to the office, or using the mail

A same-day visit from Bowie works: 40 min each way, and the Embassy takes papers in the morning.

For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Bowie means an early start.

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 Bowie: which U.S. office issues them

A child born in Bowie gets the NVR with a U.S. birth certificate issued by the Division of Vital Records of the Department of Health, in Baltimore, whose fee is on the Maryland page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).

If the marriage license was issued in Prince George's County, where Bowie lies, the CDC’s directory for Maryland points to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Prince George's County for the certified copy (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
