Israeli consulate in Baton Rouge: the office is in Houston

Israeli consulate in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
There is no Israeli consulate in Baton Rouge, and its office, Houston, has received no visitors since 20 January 2026: in-person cases go to Atlanta for now.

The Israeli consulate that handles Baton Rouge is outside the city. From Baton Rouge, the Israeli Consulate General in Houston is 273 miles by road, around 5 h 3 min of driving.

Which Israeli consulate serves Baton Rouge

Louisiana belongs to the district of the Israeli Consulate General in Houston (source), and Baton Rouge with it.

Driving from Baton Rouge takes about 5 h 3 min for 273 miles without traffic; the straight-line distance is 259 miles.

No time difference to work out: Baton Rouge runs on the same time as Houston.

While Houston’s building is renovated, its notice sends the in-person appointments of Southwest residents to the Consulate General in Atlanta (source); email and mail still go to Houston. Atlanta’s visiting days are on its page.

Other cities in Louisiana near Baton Rouge

From Baton Rouge, as the crow flies: New Iberia, 49 miles; Thibodaux, 50 miles; Lafayette, 52 miles. For the road to Houston from the main cities, see the Louisiana page.

Birth and marriage papers from Baton Rouge: which U.S. office issues them

The mission’s notice of a child born abroad asks for the original birth certificate (the mission’s birth notice page). For a birth in Baton Rouge, it comes from the Center of Vital Records and Statistics, in New Orleans (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the Louisiana page has the fee.

Baton Rouge belongs to East Baton Rouge Parish; the Louisiana page quotes the CDC on the marriage records kept by the parish.

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