The U.S. papers from Boulder the consulate asks for
If you register a child born in Colorado, you need the local birth certificate: the Vital Records Section of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issues it (CDC).
Boulder is in Boulder County: for a marriage license issued there, the certificate comes from the Boulder County Clerk, 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 Colorado it is issued by the Colorado Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
