Which Portuguese consulate serves West Jordan
The jurisdiction page of the Portuguese Consulate General in San Francisco includes Utah (source): that is the office for West Jordan.
By road it is 737 miles (12 h 56 min at the speed limit); in a straight line, 592 miles.
There is a 1 hour difference between West Jordan and the office (behind), all year.
Closer, 8 miles away in a straight line, is the honorary consulate for Utah, in Herriman. Its entry on the Portal das Comunidades lists no delegated powers, so passports and Citizen Cards are handled at the consulate.
To avoid the trip to the office there are outreach visits: the closest to West Jordan is in Salt Lake City (the last one was on October 1), 13 miles away in a straight line (source).
Other cities in Utah near West Jordan

The U.S. papers from West Jordan 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 Records and Statistics (CDC).
West Jordan is in Salt Lake County. In this state the marriage certificate comes from the county where the license was issued (CDC), and that is what the marriage transcription asks for, with an apostille.
To be used in Portugal, the certificate needs an apostille: in Utah it is issued by the Lieutenant Governor of Utah (Hague Conference list).
