If you register a child born in California, you need the local birth certificate: the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office issues it (CDC).
If your marriage license came from Riverside County, where Corona is, ask the Riverside County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) for the certificate (CDC); for the marriage transcription it needs an apostille.
To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in California it is issued by the California Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
