Which Israeli consulate serves Omaha
Nebraska is on the list of the Israeli Consulate General in Chicago (source), so that is the office for Omaha.
The drive from Omaha is 469 miles, around 8 h 41 min without traffic, against 431 miles in a straight line.
Chicago keeps the same clock as Omaha, so its office hours need no conversion.
Questions to Chicago go by email, with your full name and ID number, since it gives no phone support; its notice, updated on 13 November 2026, asks for every visitor to be registered in advance (source).

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Omaha for an Israeli mission
The birth certificate that the notice of a child born in Omaha asks for, in the original, is issued by Nebraska Vital Records, in Lincoln (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). The Nebraska page gives its fee, and the mission’s page lists the document (the mission’s birth notice page).
In Douglas County, where Omaha is, certified copies of a marriage record come from the Douglas County Court, according to the CDC’s directory for Nebraska (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records). For the mission, the copy needs an apostille.
The Nebraska Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from Nebraska (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
