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

A child born in Erie is registered with Israel on the strength of an original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page). In Pennsylvania that certificate comes from the Division of Vital Records, in New Castle (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the fee is on the Pennsylvania page.

For a marriage in Erie County, the county of Erie, the CDC’s directory for Pennsylvania sends requests to the Marriage License Clerk at the Erie County Courthouse (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the mission asks for the certificate with an apostille.

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