U.S. birth and marriage papers from Dearborn 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 Dearborn, it comes from the state’s Vital Records office, in Lansing (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the Michigan page has the fee.

For a marriage license issued in Wayne County, the county that includes Dearborn, the CDC’s directory for Michigan sends you to the Wayne County Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.
