Which Israeli consulate serves San Luis Obispo
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 San Luis Obispo is in district 24, outside that range, so this page sends it to Los Angeles. That is our reading, not a published rule.
By road, San Luis Obispo is 181 miles from the office, about 3 h 41 min at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line, 151 miles.
San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles share a time zone: the office’s hours are your hours.

Where the birth and marriage papers from San Luis Obispo come from
A child born in San Luis Obispo 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 license issued in San Luis Obispo County, the county that includes San Luis Obispo, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the San Luis Obispo 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.
Papers from California for use in Israel need the apostille of the California Secretary of State (HCCH list).
