Birth and marriage papers from St. Paul: which U.S. office issues them
In Minnesota, registering a child born in St. Paul with Israel’s Population Registry starts from an original birth certificate from the Minnesota Department of Health, in St. Paul (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The fee is on the Minnesota page, and the requirement on the mission’s birth notice page.
For a marriage license issued in Ramsey County, the county that includes St. Paul, the CDC’s directory for Minnesota sends you to the local registrar of Ramsey County (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.
A public document from Minnesota goes to Israel with an apostille from the Minnesota Secretary of State (HCCH list); Israel and the U.S. are both parties to the Hague Convention, which Israel joined in 1978.
