Which Israeli consulate serves Eureka
San Francisco and Los Angeles share California between them; the California page sets out both pages’ wording.
San Francisco’s page serves “Northern California (Districts 1-22)” (source). We read those as congressional districts on the 2023-2027 map: the center of Eureka is in district 2, so this page sends it to San Francisco. That is our reading, not a published rule.
Driving from Eureka takes about 5 h 38 min for 271 miles without traffic; the straight-line distance is 228 miles.
Eureka and San Francisco share a time zone: the office’s hours are your hours.

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Eureka for an Israeli mission
For a child born in Eureka, 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.
For a marriage license issued in Humboldt County, the county that includes Eureka, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the Humboldt 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.
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.
