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

In California, registering a child born in Hayward with Israel’s Population Registry starts from an original birth certificate from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The fee is on the California page, and the requirement on the mission’s birth notice page.

In Alameda County, where Hayward is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the Alameda County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage), according to the CDC’s directory for California (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). For the mission, the copy needs an apostille.

Papers from California for use in Israel need the apostille of the California Secretary of State (HCCH list).
