Which Ukrainian consulate serves Bakersfield?

The Ukrainian Consulate General in San Francisco serves California, which is on the district list the office publishes (district list, in Ukrainian).

Getting from Bakersfield to your Ukrainian office

From Bakersfield, the 5 h 18 min drive and a timed slot add up to two days: one to arrive near San Francisco, one at the office.

At the San Francisco consulate, filings are booked in e-Consul and there is a waiting list for passport slots; collecting finished documents needs a Setmore booking.

Instead of a second trip to the Ukrainian Consulate General in San Francisco, you can order delivery of the finished passport to the VFS Global center in Los Angeles, 101 miles from Bakersfield (VFS conditions, in Ukrainian).

Birth and marriage records for Bakersfield and the Ukrainian office

For a child born in Bakersfield, the birth certificate comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office, in Sacramento (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).

The Ukrainian office takes it apostilled, together with an apostilled notarized translation; see the California page.

In Kern County, where Bakersfield is, marriage records are kept by the Kern County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records), and for a new surname in a Ukrainian passport that certificate goes apostilled and translated.
