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

A child born in Hesperia is registered with Israel on the strength of an original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).

In California that certificate comes 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.

In San Bernardino County, where Hesperia is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the San Bernardino County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage), according to the CDC’s directory for California (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

For the mission, the copy needs 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.
