You can easily research the U.S. Vital Documents you need for your Dual Citizenship application.
The addresses below will direct you to the Vital Records Offices of the U.S. State where the birth/marriage/death/divorce took place.
All US certificates must be in "CERTIFIED COPY" a.k.a. "LONG FORM" or "FULL FORM" (not "certification" or "abstract").
Certificates reporting only the "County" of birth can not be accepted. You must request the Vital Statistics Authority to state the CITY OF BIRTH.
