Birth and marriage papers from El Monte: which U.S. office issues them

For a child born in El Monte, the original birth certificate the mission asks for comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The California page lists what a copy costs, and the requirement is on the mission’s birth notice page.

For a marriage license issued in Los Angeles County, the county that includes El Monte, 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 apostille for a public document from California is issued by the California Secretary of State (HCCH list).
