French term or phrase: Acte de deces - copie integrale - Record of Death - Full Version
I need to translate this French Record of Death into English.

Acte de Deces = Record of Death or Certificate of Death ?
Copie Integrale = Full Version (Un-shortened Version)?

It's a certificate, official document about someone who has passed away with name, dates and exact time of death.

Thanks for your input!

long-form death certificate


Explanation:
If you are translating for the US (or Canadian) market, the term to use is "long-form", for both birth and death certificates. "Standard" certificates certify little more than the fact of a named individual's birth or death at a time and place. "Long-form" or "vault" certificates provide more information.

There is no need at all to mention "certified copy". *That goes without saying.* The original record stays in the vital records vault; the only thing that can ever be used elsewhere as proof of birth or death is a copy of it.
