Israeli consulate in Charlotte: the office is in Washington, D.C.

Which Israeli consulate serves Charlotte
North Carolina is on the list of the Embassy’s consular department in Washington (source), so that is the office for Charlotte.
The Embassy’s service pages say its consular department serves residents of DC, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina “only”, while Atlanta’s “About” page lists North Carolina among the seven Southeastern states it represents.
The Embassy’s note is the one about consular services, and it is the newer of the two. (sources: 1, 2)
On the road it is 399 miles from Charlotte to the office, about 7 h 47 min in good conditions, or 330 miles as the crow flies.
No time difference to work out: Charlotte runs on the same time as Washington, D.C.
The Israeli Consulate General in Atlanta, 225 miles from Charlotte in a straight line, is the closer office, and the note quoted above also names it for North Carolina.

U.S. birth and marriage papers from Charlotte for an Israeli mission

The North Carolina Secretary of State is the authority that puts the apostille on a document from North Carolina (HCCH list), before it is used in Israel.
