Israeli consulate in Santa Fe: the office is in Houston
There is no Israeli consulate in Santa Fe. The office for Santa Fe is the Israeli Consulate General in Houston, about 841 miles away by road (15 h 31 min).
Which Israeli consulate serves Santa Fe
New Mexico belongs to the district of the Israeli Consulate General in Houston (source), and Santa Fe with it.
On the road it is 841 miles from Santa Fe to the office, about 15 h 31 min in good conditions, or 736 miles as the crow flies.
Houston is one hour ahead of Santa Fe all year, which matters when you call or wait for a reply.
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.
The Israeli Consulate General in Los Angeles is nearer to Santa Fe in a straight line (719 miles), yet New Mexico is on the list of the Israeli Consulate General in Houston.

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Santa Fe for an Israeli mission
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 Santa Fe, it comes from New Mexico Vital Records, in Santa Fe (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and the New Mexico page has the fee.
For a marriage in Santa Fe County, the county of Santa Fe, the CDC’s directory for New Mexico sends requests to the Santa Fe County Clerk (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records); the mission asks for the certificate with an apostille.
For a birth, marriage or court document issued in New Mexico, the apostille comes from the New Mexico Secretary of State (HCCH list), not from the consulate.
