The U.S. papers from Santa Rosa the consulate asks for

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).

Santa Rosa is in Sonoma County: for a marriage license issued there, the certificate comes from the Sonoma County Recorder (or its Clerk, for a confidential marriage), according to the CDC directory (CDC). That certificate, with an apostille, is what goes with the marriage transcription.

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