Birth and marriage records for McAllen and the Ukrainian office
The Ukrainian citizenship registration of a child born in McAllen needs the U.S. birth certificate, which in Texas comes from the Texas Department of State Health Services, through Texas.gov or by mail, 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 Texas page has the fee.
In Hidalgo County, where McAllen is, marriage records are kept by the Hidalgo County Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and for a new surname in a Ukrainian passport that certificate goes apostilled and translated.
