Greetings!
In translating certain documents from Oaxaca,Mexico, I chanced upon this: Jefe Del Departamento de Sistematización de Actos Civiles Estatales. I am undecided as to translate or leave as is with an explanation. I am not sure I have the right idea as to what exactly this Office does.
This is my attempt:
Chief Officer of the State Vital Statistics Office Systematization Systems.
Your assistance in this matter is appreciated.

Head of Department for Civil Registration
I agree with AllegroTrans re "Civil Registration". Also "vital statistics" suggests a 1950s beauty contest."-)

AllegroTrans
: I think "Sistematización" suggests something more - systems??//I think the relevant Mexican government website needs to be consulted to see exactly what are this person's functions, rather than guess

I personally favour "civil registration" which is internationally comprehensible
