Where the birth and marriage papers from Sunnyvale come from

In California, registering a child born in Sunnyvale 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.

For a marriage in Santa Clara County, the county of Sunnyvale, the CDC’s directory for California sends requests to the Santa Clara 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 California Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from California (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
