U.S. birth and marriage papers from Boise for an Israeli mission
The mission’s notice of a child born abroad asks for the original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page). For a birth in Boise, it comes from the Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, in Boise (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the Idaho page has the fee.
Boise is in Ada County. The Idaho page quotes the CDC on which marriage records the county keeps.
For a birth, marriage or court document issued in Idaho, the apostille comes from the Idaho Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
