The center of Simi Valley lies in congressional district 26. San Francisco lists “Districts 1-22” (source), which we take to mean those districts, so Simi Valley stays with Los Angeles by our reading.

A routing engine puts the drive at 34 miles and 43 min at legal speeds with no traffic; the straight-line distance is 22 miles.

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

Where the birth and marriage papers from Simi Valley come from

For a child born in Simi Valley, 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.

Simi Valley is in Ventura County: for a marriage license issued there, the certified copy comes from the Ventura 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.

Papers from California for use in Israel need the apostille of the California Secretary of State (HCCH list).
