What We Do

Replace Documents

We provide copies of records for life events that happened in a foreign country. These documents include birth, death, and marriage records issued by the U.S. Department of State. 

Certify Documents

We certify documents for use overseas. We add apostilles and authentication certificates to documents. The country in which the document will be used determines the type of certificate needed.

If you need to authenticate a document that we issued, please make the request to our Vital Records Office. These documents include birth, death, or marriage records.
