Where the birth and marriage papers from Albuquerque come from
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Albuquerque asks for, in the original, is issued by New Mexico Vital Records, in Santa Fe (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The New Mexico page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).
For a marriage license issued in Bernalillo County, the county that includes Albuquerque, the CDC’s directory for New Mexico sends you to the Bernalillo County Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.
A public document from New Mexico goes to Israel with an apostille from the New Mexico Secretary of State (HCCH list); Israel and the U.S. are both parties to the Hague Convention, which Israel joined in 1978.
