Israeli consulate in Modesto: the office is in San Francisco

You will not find an Israeli consulate in Modesto. The Israeli Consulate General in San Francisco is the office for Modesto: 91 miles by road, about 1 h 50 min.

Which Israeli consulate serves Modesto

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 Modesto is in district 5, so this page sends it to San Francisco. That is our reading, not a published rule.

By road, Modesto is 91 miles from the office, about 1 h 50 min at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line, 78 miles.

No time difference to work out: Modesto runs on the same time as San Francisco.

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

The mission’s notice of a child born abroad asks for the original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page).

For a birth in Modesto, it comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the California page has the fee.

For a marriage in Stanislaus County, the county of Modesto, the CDC’s directory for California sends requests to the Stanislaus 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.
