Two offices divide California, and their own words are quoted on the California page.
By our reading, Clovis belongs to San Francisco: its center is in congressional district 20 of the 2023-2027 map, and San Francisco’s page claims “Districts 1-22” (source).
The drive from Clovis is 188 miles, around 3 h 49 min without traffic, against 164 miles in a straight line.
San Francisco keeps the same clock as Clovis, so its office hours need no conversion.

Birth and marriage records for people in Clovis
Order the original birth certificate of a child born in Clovis from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The mission’s birth notice asks for it (the mission’s birth notice page), and the California page lists the fee.
For a marriage in Fresno County, the county of Clovis, the CDC’s directory for California sends requests to the Fresno County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the mission asks for the certificate with an apostille.
For a birth, marriage or court document issued in California, the apostille comes from the California Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
