The U.S Birth Certificate is a tricky part due to the fact that the one that is issued to you at birth is not acceptable for apostille, you will have to request a new certified copy (long form) only then may you legalize it.

Also, if you plan to marry a foreign national you will need a No Record of Marriage Certificate or an Affidavit of Single Status to prove that you infact may marry someone.

Also the list of countries above is incomplete and more countries are joining the Convention. Best check before hand. (Doesn't apply to Mexico since it is a memeber, just a sidenote)

Divorce Certificate(if applies) has to be apostilled as well.

Google search for Apostille Divorce Certificate

The rest I hope you can google yourself, not that hard. There's enough information out there on the subject.

Yet before you start legalizing the documents to be used in foreign country it is best tocontact the target authorities and get the list of documents that they will require from you to take a paricular action.

Well due to the fact that I cannot post links you'll just have to google :yesnod:
