Israeli consulate in San Diego: the office is in Los Angeles

Checked against the official pages on 13 November 2026. How we check.

There is no Israeli consulate in San Diego. From San Diego, the Israeli Consulate General in Los Angeles is 133 miles by road, around 2 h 37 min of driving.

Which Israeli consulate serves San Diego

California is split, and no page draws the line: San Francisco serves “Northern California (Districts 1-22)” without saying which districts those are, and Los Angeles serves “Southern California”. San Diego is in Southern California, so we send it to Los Angeles: that is our reading.

By road, San Diego is 133 miles from the office, about 2 h 37 min at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line, 119 miles.

Other cities in California and the drive to Los Angeles

San Francisco, 375 miles; Anaheim, 40 miles; Bakersfield, 107 miles; Berkeley, 370 miles. The California page has the table.

U.S. birth and marriage papers from San Diego for an Israeli mission

The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in San Diego asks for, in the original, is issued by the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento; the California page gives its fee (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, the mission’s birth notice page).

For a marriage license issued in San Diego County, the county that includes San Diego, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the San Diego County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The mission wants that certificate in the original, 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.
