U.S. birth and marriage papers from Cicero for an Israeli mission

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

In Illinois that certificate comes from the Division of Vital Records of the Illinois Department of Public Health, in Springfield (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the fee is on the Illinois page.

In Cook County, where Cicero is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the Cook County Clerk, according to the CDC’s directory for Illinois (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). For the mission, the copy needs an apostille.

The Illinois Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from Illinois (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
