East Los Angeles: which U.S. office issues your birth and marriage certificates
The mission’s notice of a child born abroad asks for the original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).
For a birth in East Los Angeles, it comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the California page has the fee.
For a marriage license issued in Los Angeles County, the county that includes East Los Angeles, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the Los Angeles County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.
The California Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from California (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
