Bangladesh consulate in Houston
Checked against the official pages on 22 October 2026. How we check.
Houston is served from another city: Bangladesh has no office there. From Houston, the Embassy’s consular wing in Washington is 1,409 miles by road, roughly 25 h 54 min of driving without traffic.
Which Bangladesh consulate serves Houston?
The Embassy’s page leaves Texas out of the three consular districts, which makes Washington the office for it (Embassy list of districts).
| Bangladeshi office | Straight-line distance |
|---|---|
| Consulate General, Miami | 957 mi |
| Embassy, Washington, D.C. (office for Houston here) | 1,218 mi |
| Consulate General, Los Angeles | 1,378 mi |
| Consulate General, New York | 1,423 mi |
In a straight line, the Bangladesh Consulate General in Miami is closer to Houston (about 957 miles against 1,218), but Texas is not in its district: the Embassy’s list sends Houston to the Embassy’s consular wing in Washington.
The Embassy’s consular wing in Washington has announced a mobile consular camp in Sugar Land and Houston, Texas for 31 October and 1 November 2026, about 19 miles from Houston in a straight line, nearer than the office itself (notice).
From Houston: the trip or the mail
With 25 h 54 min of driving, you cannot reach the Embassy before its morning counter closes unless you leave in the night, so count on 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 Houston 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.
Houston is on Central time, and the Embassy works on Eastern time.
Where the U.S. birth and marriage papers from Houston come from
The birth certificate behind the NVR of a child born in Houston is issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail, and the Texas page covers its fee and the apostille (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
For a marriage license issued in Harris County, the county that includes Houston, the CDC’s directory for Texas sends you to the Harris County Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
