| dirección nacional de registro del estado civil National Civil Registry Administration/Bureau Explanation: I know there is a strong argument for going as literal as possible with the names of government agencies, and in some contexts I think it's absolutely necessary. However, in other contexts, a target-language equivalent that reads and 'feels' more natural is the way to go. A 'Dirección General' or 'Dirección Nacional' tends to refer to a large but not cabinet-level entity, with considerable autonomy. To me, the most natural-sounding analogues are 'Bureau' or 'Administration'. US Analogies: Social Security Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Indian Affairs. "In coordination with the National Civil Registry Bureau of Bolivia, PUICA support public awareness campaigns and mobile units in Yungas, Manco Kapac, Beni..." .oas.org/en/spa/depm/puica/proyectos.asp "...Civil Registry Administration shall assume the responsibility of printing the books and records.
