U.S. birth and marriage papers from Westerville for an Israeli mission
A child born in Westerville is registered with Israel on the strength of an original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).
In Ohio that certificate comes from Vital Statistics at the Ohio Department of Health, in Columbus (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the fee is on the Ohio page.
Westerville spreads over Delaware and Franklin counties, so the marriage office depends on the county: in Franklin County, the CDC’s directory for Ohio points to the Franklin County Probate Court (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants the certificate with an apostille.
Papers from Ohio for use in Israel need the apostille of the Ohio Secretary of State (HCCH list).
