Which Israeli consulate serves Sacramento
San Francisco and Los Angeles share California between them; the California page sets out both pages’ wording.
The center of Sacramento lies in congressional district 7. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Sacramento goes with San Francisco by our reading.
By road, Sacramento is 86 miles from the office, about 1 h 46 min at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line, 73 miles.
Calls to San Francisco need no time conversion from Sacramento: both run on the same clock.

Where the birth and marriage papers from Sacramento come from
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Sacramento 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).
Sacramento is in Sacramento County: for a marriage license issued there, the certified copy comes from the Sacramento 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.
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.
