A Portuguese consulate in Denver does not exist: another office covers the city. Its office is the Portuguese Consulate General in San Francisco: 1,256 miles by road, roughly 21 h 43 min of driving.
Which Portuguese consulate serves Denver
The split is by state, and Colorado belongs to the Portuguese Consulate General in San Francisco, according to its jurisdiction page (source).
By car, 1,256 miles and about 21 h 43 min without traffic; in a straight line, 949 miles.
The office is 1 hour behind Denver all year: keep that in mind when you read its hours.
In a straight line, the nearest honorary office is the honorary consulate for Utah, in Herriman (375 miles). Its entry on the Portal das Comunidades lists no delegated powers, so passports and Citizen Cards are handled at the consulate.
The nearest outreach visit to Denver is the one in Colorado Springs, 61 miles away (dates still to be set), run by the Portuguese Consulate General in San Francisco (source).
Other cities in Colorado near Denver

The U.S. papers from Denver the consulate asks for
The U.S. birth certificate the consulate asks for to register a child is issued by the Vital Records Section of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDC).
Denver is in Denver County: for a marriage license issued there, the certificate comes from the Denver 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).
