The Embassy’s calendar for 2026 lists a mobile consular session in Charlotte, North Carolina, in December, 169 miles from Athens; it gives the month without the days, and the page warns that the dates can change (notice, in Ukrainian).
Passport filings at the session are kept for vulnerable groups and for people with no valid passport, the notice says.
The trip from Athens and how the office receives you
From Athens, the 11 h 25 min drive and a timed slot add up to two days: one to arrive near Washington, D.C., one at the office.
Visits to the Embassy are booked in e-Consul; collecting a finished passport needs no booking.
Instead of a second trip to the Embassy’s consular section in Washington, you can order delivery of the finished passport to the VFS Global center in Atlanta, 60 miles from Athens (VFS conditions, in Ukrainian).
The honorary consul of Ukraine in Atlanta, 58 miles from Athens as the crow flies, is on the Embassy’s list of honorary consuls; passports and other documents are filed with the offices that have a consular district (list, in Ukrainian).
Local records in Athens for Ukrainian paperwork
The citizenship registration of a child born in Athens starts with the U.S. birth certificate, issued in Georgia by the Georgia Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Atlanta, according to the CDC (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
