Which British consulate covers Irvine?

California is split between Los Angeles (“southern California”) and San Francisco (“Northern California”), and gov.uk publishes no county list. We place Irvine, in Orange County, with the British Consulate General in Los Angeles; that is our reading, so check with either office if it matters.

A British consulate here does not renew passports or issue visas: gov.uk says so on each office page. At the British Consulate General in Los Angeles you go in for an emergency travel document or a notarial appointment.
