GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Stamp on Record of Marriage
Spanish term or phrase: Registro Civil Unico de Madrid
On Record of Marriage

Would it be OK to translate this as "Sole Civil Registry of Madrid?" I don't feel totally comfortable with this.

Thanks,

Sole Births, Deaths & Marriages Registry of Madrid.
Explanation:
In my 20 years as sworn translator I've never seen a certificate from the UK or Ireland issued by a Registry with the name other the one I mentioned in my answer. Although the dictionaries mention "Civil Registry" I still have to see a document issued by such a body. Good luck.

neutral  Erik Brinkhof: In the UK, the issuing body is called "Register Office" and "General Register Office".

disagree  Gloria Colon: I am sorry but this explanation makes no sense to me, the fact that the UK and Ireland may have a specific name other than Civil Registry does not mean the term is not correct in English. In fact, Civil Registry is the correct term in my opinion.
