Planning the visit from Ponce
Flying from Ponce to the Embassy for a booked slot usually takes two days with the return.
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.
Mind the clock: Ponce keeps Atlantic time, the Embassy keeps Eastern time.
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 Miami, 1,022 miles from Ponce (VFS conditions, in Ukrainian).
Where people in Ponce get the U.S. records Ukraine asks for
The citizenship registration of a child born in Ponce starts with the U.S. birth certificate, issued in Puerto Rico by the Demographic Registry of the Department of Health, in San Juan, according to the CDC (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The apostille goes on the certificate and on the translation, as the Puerto Rico page explains.
