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

Order the original birth certificate of a child born in Abilene from the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission’s birth notice asks for it (the mission’s birth notice page), and the Texas page lists the fee.

Parts of Abilene lie in Jones and Taylor counties. For Taylor County, the CDC’s directory for Texas names the Taylor County Clerk as the place for a marriage record (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the mission takes the certificate with an apostille.

Papers from Texas for use in Israel need the apostille of the Texas Secretary of State (HCCH list).
