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

Order the original birth certificate of a child born in Carmel from the Indiana State Department of Health’s Vital Records office, in Indianapolis (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission’s birth notice asks for it (the mission’s birth notice page), and the Indiana page lists the fee.

Carmel is in Hamilton County: for a marriage license issued there, the certified copy comes from the Clerk of the Circuit or Superior Court of Hamilton County, according to the CDC’s directory for Indiana (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission takes it only with an apostille.

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