Careful. This is particular to Luxembourg and the translation is "At the wish"
It will all depend on whether your client is in Luxembourg where legal terms are expressed a little differently.
According to subparagraph 3, the joint or unilateral declaration is transmitted by the qualified registrar to the general parquet floor for desired purposes of conservation and inscription. At the wish of the bearing amendment on subparagraph 3 of the aforesaid article 13, "an extract of the inscription to the civil repertory noting the end of a partnership must be presented, if it is necessary, at the registrar for a partnership or of a marriage".

: Anna, "au voeu de" is indeed a strange Luxembourgish expression, but in English, no matter where it's used, "at the wish of" can be followed only by a person or a body of persons, not the article of a law.
