U.S. birth and marriage papers from Minnetonka for an Israeli mission
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Minnetonka asks for, in the original, is issued by the Minnesota Department of Health, in St. Paul (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The Minnesota page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).
For a marriage license issued in Hennepin County, the county that includes Minnetonka, the CDC’s directory for Minnesota sends you to the local registrar of Hennepin County (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.
The Minnesota Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from Minnesota (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
