Bus/Financial - Tourism & Travel / marriage certificate | | Spanish term or phrase: Legalizacion | | Talking about a holiday resort and needing to obtain its 'legalizacion', the document/quote for work also talks about fire extinguishers. Is this making sure the resort legally complies with health and safety, fire issues etc? Is this 'certification' or does it go by another name? Many thanks |

Since the original mentions "fire extinguishers" (i.e., safety) and since it would be expected that resorts comply with food handling/strorage requirements (i.e., health-related issues), your suggestion might work just fine. |

Explanation:
Están hablando de la "habilitación" del lugar. Es decir, que cumpla con todos los requisitos que estipula la ley para que el lugar pueda ser abierto, verificar que se encuentre apto para la actividad que se llevará a cabo y comience a funcionar. Si habla de fire extinguishers, es muy probable que se trate de esto
Habilitación
Hacer a una persona o cosa hábil o apta para algo: habilitaremos esta habitación como despacho.
