Birth and marriage papers from Brownsville: which U.S. office issues them

In Texas, registering a child born in Brownsville with Israel’s Population Registry starts from an original birth certificate from the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The fee is on the Texas page, and the requirement on the mission’s birth notice page.

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

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