Which Portuguese consulate serves Ontario

The jurisdiction page of the Portuguese Consulate General in San Francisco includes California (source): that is the office for Ontario.

By road it is 420 miles (7 h 57 min at the speed limit); in a straight line, 375 miles.

Ontario keeps the office’s time, summer and winter.

The honorary consulate in Los Angeles is 30 miles away in a straight line. Its entry on the Portal das Comunidades lists no delegated powers, so passports and Citizen Cards are handled at the consulate.

The nearest outreach visit to Ontario is the one in Artesia, 30 miles away (the last one ran from October 19 to 23), run by the Portuguese Consulate General in San Francisco (source).

The U.S. papers from Ontario the consulate asks for

Registering a child born here and transcribing a marriage both take U.S. papers. The birth certificate comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office (CDC).

In San Bernardino County, the county of Ontario, marriage certificates come from the San Bernardino County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage), according to the CDC (CDC). The marriage transcription asks for it with an apostille.

To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in California it is issued by the California Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
