Getting from San Jose to your Ukrainian office

Birth and marriage records for San Jose and the Ukrainian office
The Ukrainian citizenship registration of a child born in San Jose needs the U.S. birth certificate, which in California comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento, according to the CDC’s directory (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The office wants it apostilled, with a notarized Ukrainian translation that carries its own apostille; the California page has the fee.
In Santa Clara County, where San Jose is, marriage records are kept by the Santa Clara County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and for a new surname in a Ukrainian passport that certificate goes apostilled and translated.
