Cleveland: which U.S. office issues your birth and marriage certificates
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Cleveland asks for, in the original, is issued by Vital Statistics at the Ohio Department of Health, in Columbus (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The Ohio page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).
For a marriage license issued in Cuyahoga County, the county that includes Cleveland, the CDC’s directory for Ohio sends you to the Cuyahoga County Probate Court (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.
For a birth, marriage or court document issued in Ohio, the apostille comes from the Ohio Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
