French term or phrase: bureau des archives Nles de la République
I am translating an "extrait des registres des actes de naissance" from Haiti to US English:

"Extrait des registres des actes de naissance de la commune de Port-au-Prince déposés au **bureau des archives Nles de la République et délivré sur papier timbré sans timbre mobile et sans numéro de récépissé suivant l’article ..."

I have seen the translation "national archives of Haiti", but there are not a lot of references. I have also seen "public records office". How would you translate it?

Thank you very much in advance

neutral  cc in nyc: "Haitian National Archives" is OK... But no way is any US office "de la République," and there is no federal office of vital records in the USA; they are all local.
