Israeli consulate in Orange: the office is in Los Angeles
There is no Israeli consulate in Orange. The Israeli Consulate General in Los Angeles, 44 miles from Orange by road (56 min), takes its cases.
Which Israeli consulate serves Orange
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 Orange is in district 46, outside that range, so this page sends it to Los Angeles. That is our reading, not a published rule.
By road, Orange is 44 miles from the office, about 56 min at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line, 39 miles.
Los Angeles keeps the same clock as Orange, so its office hours need no conversion.

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Orange for an Israeli mission
In California, registering a child born in Orange with Israel’s Population Registry starts from an original birth certificate 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, and the requirement on the mission’s birth notice page.
Orange is in Orange County: for a marriage license issued there, the certified copy comes from the Orange County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage), according to the CDC’s directory for California (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The mission takes it only with an apostille.
A public document from California goes to Israel with an apostille from the California Secretary of State (HCCH list); Israel and the U.S. are both parties to the Hague Convention, which Israel joined in 1978.
