The U.S. papers from Buckeye the consulate asks for
If you register a child born in Arizona, you need the local birth certificate: the Bureau of Vital Records of the Arizona Department of Health Services issues it (CDC).
If your marriage license came from Maricopa County, where Buckeye is, ask the Clerk of the Superior Court of Maricopa County for the certificate (CDC); for the marriage transcription it needs an apostille.
To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in Arizona it is issued by the Arizona Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
