Israeli consulate in Yuma: the office is in Los Angeles

Israeli consulate in Yuma, Arizona

No Israeli consulate operates in Yuma. The Israeli Consulate General in Los Angeles, 285 miles from Yuma by road (5 h 27 min), takes its cases.

Which Israeli consulate serves Yuma

On its list of states (source), the Israeli Consulate General in Los Angeles includes Arizona; that makes it the office for Yuma.

On the road it is 285 miles from Yuma to the office, about 5 h 27 min in good conditions, or 240 miles as the crow flies.

In winter Los Angeles is one hour behind Yuma; in summer the clocks match, since one side skips daylight saving time.

Los Angeles works strictly by appointment, without walk-ins; for an urgent case its contact page says to book the nearest free slot and then email to ask for an earlier one (source).

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Yuma for an Israeli mission

The mission’s notice of a child born abroad asks for the original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).

For a birth in Yuma, it comes from the Bureau of Vital Records of the Arizona Department of Health Services, in Phoenix (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the Arizona page has the fee.

Yuma is in Yuma County: for a marriage license issued there, the certified copy comes from the Clerk of the Superior Court of Yuma County, according to the CDC’s directory for Arizona (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission takes it only with an apostille.

For a birth, marriage or court document issued in Arizona, the apostille comes from the Arizona Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
