U.S. birth and marriage papers from Santa Monica for a Bangladeshi office
In California, a child born in Santa Monica needs a birth certificate from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento for the NVR, with the fee on the California page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
If the marriage license was issued in Los Angeles County, where Santa Monica lies, the CDC’s directory for California points to the Los Angeles County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) for the certified copy (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
