If your marriage license came from Riverside County, where Palm Springs 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).
