Visiting from Erie, or sending the papers by mail
6 h 58 min on the road from Erie 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 Erie 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 Erie for the NVR and the passport
In Pennsylvania, a child born in Erie needs a birth certificate from the Division of Vital Records, in New Castle for the NVR, with the fee on the Pennsylvania page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
For a marriage license issued in Erie County, the county that includes Erie, the CDC’s directory for Pennsylvania sends you to the Marriage License Clerk at the Erie County Courthouse (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
