The U.S. papers from Murrieta the consulate asks for

Registering a child born here and transcribing a marriage both take U.S. papers. The birth certificate comes from the California Department of Public Health’s Vital Records office (CDC).

For the marriage transcription, a marriage in Riverside County (the county of Murrieta) is proven with the certificate from the Riverside County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage) (CDC), apostilled.

To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in California it is issued by the California Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
