Missouri is outside the districts of New York, Los Angeles and Miami; the Embassy’s list gives every other state to the consular wing in Washington (Embassy list of districts).

Visiting from Independence, or sending the papers by mail

From Independence, the 20 h 1 min drive and a counter that takes papers only in the morning add up to two days: one to arrive near Washington, D.C., one at the Embassy.

For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Independence 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.

Mind the clock: Independence keeps Central time and the Embassy Eastern time.

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

For the NVR of a child born in Independence, the U.S. birth certificate comes from the Bureau of Vital Records of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, in Jefferson City, and the Missouri page has its fee (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).

If the marriage license was issued in Jackson County, where Independence lies, the CDC’s directory for Missouri points to the Jackson County Recorder of Deeds for the certified copy (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
