From Arecibo: the trip or the mail

From Arecibo, 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 Arecibo 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.

Arecibo is on Atlantic time, and the Embassy works on Eastern time.

Where the U.S. birth and marriage papers from Arecibo come from

The Demographic Registry of the Department of Health, in San Juan issues the U.S. birth certificate that the NVR of a child born in Arecibo asks for, and the Puerto Rico page gives its fee (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
