Which Israeli consulate serves Monterey

Two offices divide California, and their own words are quoted on the California page.

The center of Monterey lies in congressional district 19. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Monterey goes with San Francisco by our reading.

A routing engine puts the drive at 115 miles and 2 h 23 min at legal speeds with no traffic; the straight-line distance is 87 miles.

Calls to San Francisco need no time conversion from Monterey: both run on the same clock.

Monterey: which U.S. office issues your birth and marriage certificates

A child born in Monterey 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.

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

Papers from California for use in Israel need the apostille of the California Secretary of State (HCCH list).
