NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR APOSTILLE

The size and color of all documents issued within the past 10 years are basically the same, even those which in fact are not acceptable. If the Birth, Marriage or Death Certificate is signed by the Local Registrar, Medical Officer (M.D.), County Health Officer, Health Care Agency or is issued by the Department of Public Health or Registrar of Vital Statistics or Vital Records Section then is not suitable for an Apostille because it specifically needs to be issued by the County Clerk’s office. * Your document may or may not have a bar code, either way is acceptable.
