Where the birth and marriage papers from Flint come from
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Flint asks for, in the original, is issued by the state’s Vital Records office, in Lansing (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The Michigan page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).
For a marriage in Genesee County, the county of Flint, the CDC’s directory for Michigan sends requests to the Genesee County Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the mission asks for the certificate with an apostille.
For a birth, marriage or court document issued in Michigan, the apostille comes from the Michigan Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
