U.S. birth and marriage papers from Irving for an Israeli mission
A child born in Irving is registered with Israel on the strength of an original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).
In Texas that certificate comes 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.
In Dallas County, where Irving is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the Dallas County Clerk, according to the CDC’s directory for Texas (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). For the mission, the copy needs an apostille.
Papers from Texas for use in Israel need the apostille of the Texas Secretary of State (HCCH list).
