Which Israeli consulate serves Berkeley

San Francisco and Los Angeles share California between them; the California page sets out both pages’ wording.

The center of Berkeley lies in congressional district 12. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Berkeley goes with San Francisco by our reading.

By road, Berkeley is 12 miles from the office, about 23 min at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line, 9 miles.

Calls to San Francisco need no time conversion from Berkeley: both run on the same clock.

Birth and marriage papers from Berkeley: which U.S. office issues them

For a child born in Berkeley, the original birth certificate the mission asks for comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The California page lists what a copy costs, and the requirement is on the mission’s birth notice page.

Berkeley is in Alameda County: for a marriage license issued there, the certified copy comes from the Alameda County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage), according to the CDC’s directory for California (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The mission takes it only with an apostille.

The California Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from California (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
