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

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

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

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