Birth and marriage records for Scranton and the Ukrainian office
The Ukrainian citizenship registration of a child born in Scranton needs the U.S. birth certificate, which in Pennsylvania comes from the Division of Vital Records, in New Castle, 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 Pennsylvania page has the fee.
In Lackawanna County, where Scranton is, marriage records are kept by the Marriage License Clerk at the Lackawanna County Courthouse (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and for a new surname in a Ukrainian passport that certificate goes apostilled and translated.
