Registeramt
Explanation:
= registrar's office

Civil office for the registration of marriages, societies, transfers of property, etc. (in this case, the function is more or less comparable to that of a German "Standesamt")

"The Hindu Marriage Act provides for registration of an already solemnised marriage. It does not provide for solemnisation of a marriage by the Registrar. The Special Marriage Act provides for solemnisation of a marriage as well as registration by a Marriage Officer." (Source: http://india.gov.in/howdo/howdoi.php?service=3)
