From Garapan: the trip or the mail
From Garapan, a visit means a flight and, since the Embassy takes papers in the morning, a night near Washington, D.C.
A same-day NVR at the Embassy has a short drop-off window early in the morning, which from Garapan 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.
Garapan is on Chamorro time, and the Embassy works on Eastern time.
Where the U.S. birth and marriage papers from Garapan come from
The Health and Vital Statistics Office of the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation, in Saipan issues the U.S. birth certificate that the NVR of a child born in Garapan asks for, and the Northern Mariana Islands page gives its fee (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
Garapan is in Saipan Municipality. The Northern Mariana Islands page quotes the CDC on which marriage records the county keeps.
