Birth and marriage papers from Temecula: which U.S. office issues them
A child born in Temecula 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.
In Riverside County, where Temecula is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the Riverside 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.
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.
