Getting from Dearborn to the office, or using the mail
9 h 44 min on the road from Dearborn 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 Dearborn 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 Dearborn: which U.S. office issues them
In Michigan, a child born in Dearborn needs a birth certificate from the state’s Vital Records office, in Lansing for the NVR, with the fee on the Michigan page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
If the marriage license was issued in Wayne County, where Dearborn lies, the CDC’s directory for Michigan points to the Wayne County Clerk for the certified copy (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
