English term or phrase: Registrar's Office <Records>, and: Records Officer
This is part of a letter
Registrar's Office is part of the letter head; from an Irish University. It seems you write to this office if you need prove that you passed an exam with them, for e.g. the BA.
I don't know, if I should just leave it as is and put a translation or an explanation in brackets! I am thinking "Archiv" or something like it.

Explanation:
könnte das "Prüfungsreferat" (Österreich) sein, aber auch die Immatrikulationsstelle (die verfügen über alle Infos, nicht nur über Prüfungsergebnisse).

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Maria Ferstl: Möglicherweise ist es das zweite. Immerhin steht im Pons-Großwörterbuch Studentensekretariat. So nennen die Deutschen die Evidenzstelle, wo man immatrikuliert. (Heißt aber jetzt in Österreich alles anders, mit dem neuen Uni-Jargon. Bin nicht uptodate.)
