Which Israeli consulate serves Milpitas

California has two Israeli offices, and the California page quotes what each one’s page says about the split.

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 Milpitas is in district 17, so this page sends it to San Francisco. That is our reading, not a published rule.

Driving from Milpitas takes about 59 min for 44 miles without traffic; the straight-line distance is 37 miles.

Milpitas and San Francisco share a time zone: the office’s hours are your hours.

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

For a child born in Milpitas, 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 Santa Clara County, the county that includes Milpitas, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the Santa Clara 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.

The apostille for a public document from California is issued by the California Secretary of State (HCCH list).
