Spanish term or phrase: Entidad de Registro
It is a Mexican Marriage Certificate.

On the right side it says:


"Entidad de Registro

Municipio de Registro

Fecha de Inscripción de Matrimonio"


And then below, centered, it says:


"Datos de las personas Contrayentes"



In my mind, I translated it as

"Registration Entity"

"Registration Municipality"

"Marriage Recording Date"


What do you think.. ? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

agree  Robert Carter: Yes, as Juan says, "entidad" refers to the "federative entity", which in most cases, other than Mexico City, means which State the registry office is in.

Explanation:
"Civil Registry Office" is the idiomatic term used in English.
"Registry Office" and "Registration Entity" are not idiomatic.

Many other things are subject to registration, such as real estate, patents, trademarks, copyrights, mortgages, etc., with their own Registry Offices. The word "Civil" distinguishes personal status records from these other types of registrations.
