The U.S. papers from Phoenix the consulate asks for
Registering a child born here and transcribing a marriage both take U.S. papers. The birth certificate comes from the Bureau of Vital Records of the Arizona Department of Health Services (CDC).
For the marriage transcription, a marriage in Maricopa County (the county of Phoenix) is proven with the certificate from the Clerk of the Superior Court of Maricopa County (CDC), apostilled.
To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in Arizona it is issued by the Arizona Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
