English translation:Deputy Chief Registrar (of Births and Deaths)
Explanation:
In the UK, the General Register Office maintains the Register of births, deaths and marriages.

“Service de l’état civil” can be said to be a close equivalent of “General Register Office.”
« Officier de l’état civil » can be translated by one word in English for UK contexts, when on a certificate, for example, “registrar”.
“par delegation” I would suggest “deputy” something or other.

For India, how about “Deputy Chief Registrar of Births and Deaths” or even “Deputy Chief Registrar” alone.
