For the marriage transcription, a marriage in Maricopa County (the county of Tempe) 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).
