Visiting from Cleveland, or sending the papers by mail

7 h 6 min on the road from Cleveland 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 Cleveland 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.

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

In Ohio, a child born in Cleveland needs a birth certificate from Vital Statistics at the Ohio Department of Health, in Columbus for the NVR, with the fee on the Ohio page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).

For a marriage license issued in Cuyahoga County, the county that includes Cleveland, the CDC’s directory for Ohio sends you to the Cuyahoga County Probate Court (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
