The trip from Durham and how the office receives you
From Durham, the 4 h 58 min drive and a timed slot add up to two days: one to arrive near Washington, D.C., one at the office.
Papers are filed at the Embassy with an e-Consul booking, and a finished passport is collected without one, at the set times on its page.
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 Raleigh, 21 miles from Durham (VFS conditions, in Ukrainian).
Local records in Durham for Ukrainian paperwork
The Ukrainian citizenship registration of a child born in Durham needs the U.S. birth certificate, which in North Carolina comes from NC Vital Records, in Raleigh, according to the CDC’s directory (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The office wants it apostilled, with a notarized Ukrainian translation that carries its own apostille; the North Carolina page has the fee.
