Why immigrants need certified vital records

USCIS, courts, schools, and many other US agencies require certified vital records (not photocopies) for:

• I-130 family petition — birth certificate proves family relationship
• I-485 adjustment of status — birth certificate of applicant and beneficiaries
• N-400 naturalization — marriage certificate if applying under spouse-of-USC 3-year rule
• Apostille — for use of US documents in foreign countries (your home country may require US apostille)
• School enrollment — proof of date of birth
• Real ID applications — proof of identity

Apostille and authentication

If you need to use a Hawaii vital record OUTSIDE the United States (e.g., for use at your home country’s consulate), you typically need an apostille from the Hawaii Secretary of State’s office. See /procedures/apostille-document/ for the process.

Related procedural information

• Consulate of your country in the US — your home country’s transcription/legalization of US records
• Translate documents for USCIS — certified-translation standard
• Apostille (document legalization) — for use abroad
• USCIS Form I-130 — family petition — uses vital records as evidence
• USCIS Form N-400 — naturalization — vital records for marriage-based 3-year rule
