Where the birth and marriage papers from Roswell come from

For a child born in Roswell, the original birth certificate the mission asks for comes from New Mexico Vital Records, in Santa Fe (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The New Mexico page lists what a copy costs, and the requirement is on the mission’s birth notice page.

In Chaves County, where Roswell is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the Chaves County Clerk, according to the CDC’s directory for New Mexico (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). For the mission, the copy needs an apostille.

For a birth, marriage or court document issued in New Mexico, the apostille comes from the New Mexico Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
