U.S. birth and marriage papers from Pittsburgh for an Israeli mission
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Pittsburgh asks for, in the original, is issued by the Division of Vital Records, in New Castle (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The Pennsylvania page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).
In Allegheny County, where Pittsburgh is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the Marriage License Clerk at the Allegheny County Courthouse, according to the CDC’s directory for Pennsylvania (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). For the mission, the copy needs an apostille.
A public document from Pennsylvania goes to Israel with an apostille from the Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth (HCCH list); Israel and the U.S. are both parties to the Hague Convention, which Israel joined in 1978.
