Which Israeli consulate serves Santa Ana

California has two Israeli offices, and the California page quotes what each one’s page says about the split.

The center of Santa Ana lies in congressional district 46. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Santa Ana stays with Los Angeles by our reading.

The drive from Santa Ana is 46 miles, around 58 min without traffic, against 40 miles in a straight line.

Calls to Los Angeles need no time conversion from Santa Ana: both run on the same clock.

Birth and marriage papers from Santa Ana: which U.S. office issues them

For a child born in Santa Ana, the original birth certificate the mission asks for comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The California page lists what a copy costs, and the requirement is on the mission’s birth notice page.

Santa Ana 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.
