This is a part of my series on applying for temporary residency in St. Petersburg, Russia.
I'm trying to get my documents organized before I go so my parents can mail some of them out as it gets closer to January.
Here's what I learned today about authenticating birth certificates:
-The Secretary of State actually has a few offices. I don't necessarily have to send the birth certificate to Boston, or Worcester (where I was born). The nearest office is not really close enough to hand-deliver the documents, but there is that option.
-The turn-around time is only about a day or so. At least, that's what I was told. So in general this is one of the easiest documents to get, as long as you have a certified copy of your birth certificate accessible. If you don't have a copy, it will just be an extra step.
