Where the birth and marriage papers from Tyler come from

The mission’s notice of a child born abroad asks for the original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).

For a birth in Tyler, it comes from the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the Texas page has the fee.

In Smith County, where Tyler is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the Smith 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.

The Texas Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from Texas (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
