Which Israeli consulate serves Murrieta
Two offices divide California, and their own words are quoted on the California page.
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 Murrieta is in district 48, outside that range, so this page sends it to Los Angeles. That is our reading, not a published rule.
Driving from Murrieta takes about 1 h 55 min for 95 miles without traffic; the straight-line distance is 80 miles.
Murrieta and Los Angeles share a time zone: the office’s hours are your hours.

Birth and marriage papers from Murrieta: which U.S. office issues them
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Murrieta asks for, in the original, is issued by the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The California page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).
For a marriage in Riverside County, the county of Murrieta, the CDC’s directory for California sends requests to the Riverside 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.
The California Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from California (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
