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

If you register a child born in Indiana, you need the local birth certificate: the Indiana State Department of Health’s Vital Records office issues it (CDC).

For the marriage transcription, a marriage in Monroe County (the county of Bloomington) is proven with the certificate from the Clerk of the Circuit or Superior Court of Monroe County (CDC), apostilled.

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