Which Israeli consulate serves Santa Rosa
California has two Israeli offices, and the California page quotes what each one’s page says about the split.
The center of Santa Rosa lies in congressional district 4. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Santa Rosa goes with San Francisco by our reading.
Driving from Santa Rosa takes about 1 h 16 min for 55 miles without traffic; the straight-line distance is 48 miles.
Calls to San Francisco need no time conversion from Santa Rosa: both run on the same clock.

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Santa Rosa for an Israeli mission
Order the original birth certificate of a child born in Santa Rosa from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
The mission’s birth notice asks for it (the mission’s birth notice page), and the California page lists the fee.
For a marriage license issued in Sonoma County, the county that includes Santa Rosa, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the Sonoma 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.
