Lawton: which U.S. office issues your birth and marriage certificates

For a child born in Lawton, the original birth certificate the mission asks for comes from the Vital Records Service of the Oklahoma State Department of Health, in Oklahoma City (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The Oklahoma page lists what a copy costs, and the requirement is on the mission’s birth notice page.

For a marriage license issued in Comanche County, the county that includes Lawton, the CDC’s directory for Oklahoma sends you to the Comanche County Court Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.

The Oklahoma Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from Oklahoma (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
