Vancouver: which U.S. office issues your birth and marriage certificates
A child born in Vancouver is registered with Israel on the strength of an original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).
In Washington State that certificate comes from the Center for Health Statistics of the Department of Health, in Olympia (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the fee is on the Washington State page.
For a birth, marriage or court document issued in Washington State, the apostille comes from the Washington Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
