neutral  Marcelo González: With all due respect, you "disagree," or you simply refuse to admit what you suggest above, i.e.,that it might be a department, too? >As you mention, it could be any one of three possibilities, which suggests the appropriateness of a more general term.

**NOT AGENCY**

The best term in this context (in which it could just as easily be an agency, as it could a department or an office) is a term that this sufficiently broad, covering "all the bases" (so to speak). Though "entity" and "body" are fine, the most common of such broad, general terms would be "authorities" (at least in the US).
