Birth and marriage papers from Bakersfield: which U.S. office issues them
A child born in Bakersfield gets the NVR with a U.S. birth certificate issued by the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento, whose fee is on the California page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
If the marriage license was issued in Kern County, where Bakersfield lies, the CDC’s directory for California points to the Kern County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) for the certified copy (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
