Israeli consulate in Thousand Oaks: the office is in Los Angeles
There is no Israeli consulate in Thousand Oaks. Residents of Thousand Oaks go to the Israeli Consulate General in Los Angeles, 35 miles away (45 min by road).
Which Israeli consulate serves Thousand Oaks
California has two Israeli offices, and the California page quotes what each one’s page says about the split.
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 Thousand Oaks is in district 26, outside that range, so this page sends it to Los Angeles. That is our reading, not a published rule.
Driving from Thousand Oaks takes about 45 min for 35 miles without traffic; the straight-line distance is 26 miles.
No time difference to work out: Thousand Oaks runs on the same time as Los Angeles.

Birth and marriage papers from Thousand Oaks: which U.S. office issues them
A child born in Thousand Oaks 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 Ventura County, the county that includes Thousand Oaks, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the Ventura 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.
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.
