Israeli consulate in Antioch: the office is in San Francisco
You will not find an Israeli consulate in Antioch. Residents of Antioch go to the Israeli Consulate General in San Francisco, 46 miles away (1 h 1 min by road).
Which Israeli consulate serves Antioch
Two offices divide California, and their own words are quoted on the California page.
The center of Antioch lies in congressional district 10. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Antioch goes with San Francisco by our reading.
A routing engine puts the drive at 46 miles and 1 h 1 min at legal speeds with no traffic; the straight-line distance is 35 miles.
San Francisco keeps the same clock as Antioch, so its office hours need no conversion.

Antioch: which U.S. office issues your birth and marriage certificates
In California, registering a child born in Antioch with Israel’s Population Registry starts from an original birth certificate from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The fee is on the California page, and the requirement on the mission’s birth notice page.
For a marriage license issued in Contra Costa County, the county that includes Antioch, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the Contra Costa County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The mission wants that certificate in the original, with an apostille.
A public document from California goes to Israel with an apostille from the California Secretary of State (HCCH list); Israel and the U.S. are both parties to the Hague Convention, which Israel joined in 1978.
