The U.S. papers from Billings 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 (CDC).
Billings is in Yellowstone County: for a marriage license issued there, the certificate comes from the Clerk of District Court of Yellowstone County, 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 Montana it is issued by the Montana Secretary of State (Hague Conference list).
