Israeli consulate in Torrance: the office is in Los Angeles

There is no Israeli consulate in Torrance. The Israeli Consulate General in Los Angeles, 19 miles from Torrance by road (27 min), takes its cases.

Which Israeli consulate serves Torrance

Two offices divide California, and their own words are quoted on the California page.

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 Torrance is in district 36, outside that range, so this page sends it to Los Angeles. That is our reading, not a published rule.

By road, Torrance is 19 miles from the office, about 27 min at posted speed limits and without traffic; in a straight line, 16 miles.

Los Angeles keeps the same clock as Torrance, so its office hours need no conversion.

Torrance: which U.S. office issues your birth and marriage certificates

The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Torrance asks for, in the original, is issued by the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The California page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).

For a marriage license issued in Los Angeles County, the county that includes Torrance, the CDC’s directory for California sends you to the Los Angeles 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.

For a birth, marriage or court document issued in California, the apostille comes from the California Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
