English translation:Registry Office Department...
Explanation:
Registry Office Department of the Oblast (or Provincial) Government Registries Management Committee

That's the best I can do with it, and I am writing from a UK perspective, where a ЗАГС is a Registry Office - it may be different in the USA.

agree  Oleg Osipov: Office of Vital Statistics (US)...и далее по тексту г-на Даути (Этот Комитет в этой области явно создавался под кого-то, кто срочно нуждался в должности.)

  -> Vital statistics has also come to mean female body measurements. There is a shapely young blonde in the Asterix cartoons whose name (in the English-language version) is Vitalstatistix.

Registry office of the Civil State Committee/Service affiliated to the Government of the region


Explanation:
Ведь гражданское состояние - это Civil State! И по-моему, логично, чтобы Комитет, который в масштабе области этим делом управляет, назывался Civil State Committee/Service

Тем более что это дает возможность построить фразу не тавтогологично.
