Registering a child born here and transcribing a marriage both take U.S. papers. The birth certificate comes from the Indiana State Department of Health’s Vital Records office (CDC).

If your marriage license came from Lake County, where Gary is, ask the Clerk of the Circuit or Superior Court of Lake County for the certificate (CDC); for the marriage transcription it needs an apostille.

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