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

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

For the marriage transcription, a marriage in Cook County (the county of Evanston) is proven with the certificate from the Cook County Clerk (CDC), apostilled.

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