Palmdale: which U.S. office issues your birth and marriage certificates

A child born in Palmdale is registered with Israel on the strength of an original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).

In California that certificate comes 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.

For a marriage in Los Angeles County, the county of Palmdale, the CDC’s directory for California sends requests to the Los Angeles County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the mission asks for the certificate with an apostille.

The apostille for a public document from California is issued by the California Secretary of State (HCCH list).
