U.S. birth and marriage papers from Fort Worth for an Israeli mission
In Texas, registering a child born in Fort Worth 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.
Parts of Fort Worth lie in Denton, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant and Wise counties. For Tarrant County, the CDC’s directory for Texas names the Tarrant 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.
For a birth, marriage or court document issued in Texas, the apostille comes from the Texas Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
