Available services

Requirements and fees are set by the country's authority, not by each office. Each guide details them with a source, or explains where to confirm them when no figure can be published.

Before you go

  1. Book your appointment

    Most services require an appointment. Book on the official portal, never through intermediaries.

  2. Gather your documents

    Check the requirements for your service and bring originals and copies separately.

  3. Reconfirm and arrive early

    Check hours and closures the day before. A home-country holiday is the most common cause of a wasted trip.

Practical questions before you go

Short answers based on the jurisdiction, channels and hours documented in this record.

I live in Maryland — do I go to the embassy or a consulate?

Maryland falls under the embassy's consular wing in Washington, D.C., together with the District of Columbia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Neighboring states such as Pennsylvania or Delaware belong to the Consulate General in New York.

Can I submit my passport or visa application directly at the embassy?

Generally no. Passport, visa, OCI and renunciation applications go through VFS Global centers, the official service provider since 2025. The embassy directly handles emergencies, such as urgent travel documents.

Does the embassy also process OCI cards?

Yes, OCI applications from residents of its district are processed through the VFS Global portal under the embassy's supervision. Check the requirements on the official website before booking, since the paperwork varies by case.

Office-specific notes

  • The consular wing operates from its own building at 2536 Massachusetts Avenue NW, separate from the embassy's main chancery at 2107 Massachusetts Avenue NW — make sure you go to the right door.
  • It is the only district in India's US network that includes a foreign territory: besides D.C. and five mid-Atlantic states, it also serves residents of Bermuda.
  • Since August 2025, passport, visa, OCI and renunciation applications are routed through VFS Global centers; the embassy directly handles emergency travel documents and police clearance certificates.
