Dutch term or phrase: Uittreksel uit de burgerlijke stand
Uittreksel uit het bevolkingsregister weet ik (= extract of/from the population register, althans volgens Jurlex/Van den End). Maar burgerlijke stand? Merkwaardig spellingsverschil overigens tussen 'burgerlijke' en 'burgemeester' valt me nu op...

  -> I'am sure *Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages* is rigth but it isn't the only option. At least I hope the British Embassy knows what they are talking about.
agree  Lawyer-Linguist: the GRO in the UK is the name of the registry dealing with Births, Deaths and Marriages so this answer is also perfectly acceptable - I'd go with the more descriptive one though for more clarity

copy of an entry in the population register


Explanation:
An 'uittreksel' is formally referred to as a 'copy of an entry in a register' in UK English (and afaik also in AUS, NZ and IRL). They are frequently also referred to as 'certificates'.

As for 'burgerlijke stand': do you mean 'burgerlijke stand' or 'bevolkingsregister'? Despite the way the term 'burgerlijke stand' is used in the vernacular, the terms do in fact refer to two distinct things.

If you mean 'burgerlijke stand', the translation is 'registry of births, deaths and marriages'.
If you mean 'bevolkingsregister' (formally known as the Gemeentelijke Basisadministratie Persoonsgegevens or GBA), the translation is 'population register'.

The difference is that the 'burgerlijke stand' records life events, i.e. births, deaths and marriages, whereas the 'bevolkingsregister' records details of who is resident in a given place.

-> "De registers van de Burgerlijke Stand worden dikwijls verwisseld met het Bevolkingsregister. Dit is een heel andere instantie, die andere gegevens bewaart. In de registers van de Burgerlijke Stand worden bepaalde gebeurtenissen vastgelegd: geboorte, huwelijk en overlijden. Het Bevolkingsregister legt vast wie er per woning in de gemeente woont. Daarbij wordt geregistreerd wanneer de bewoners daar zijn gekomen, waar ze vandaan komen en als ze vertrekken waarheen ze zijn gegaan."

Thanks for your extensive answer Chris. You should be getting points for this, but I can't split them up. PS: I meant the burgerlijke stand.
