Birth and marriage records for people in Austin
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Austin asks for, in the original, is issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The Texas page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).
Austin spreads over Bastrop, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties, so the marriage office depends on the county: in Travis County, the CDC’s directory for Texas points to the Travis County Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission wants the certificate with an apostille.
Papers from Texas for use in Israel need the apostille of the Texas Secretary of State (HCCH list).
