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

For a child born in Escondido, 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.

Escondido is in San Diego County: for a marriage license issued there, the certified copy comes from the San Diego County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage), according to the CDC’s directory for California (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The mission takes it only with an apostille.

A public document from California goes to Israel with an apostille from the California Secretary of State (HCCH list); Israel and the U.S. are both parties to the Hague Convention, which Israel joined in 1978.
