neutral  philgoddard: I don't think you can define a term simply by repeating it. It means the person responsible for recording births, marriages, and deaths.//I agree with lots of your answers! I think they're very good.
35 mins
  -> question seems to be "the title of the officer who signed the certificate"! she did not ask for a definition. Really hard for you to agree with anything I put it seems/Clearly not. More evidence just now.

neutral  AllegroTrans: A title is a title; I don't thin you should change it and anyways I don't understand the Asker's question
1 hr
  -> I gave options, including the original title, as unclear what problem is and Daryo had already posted links

neutral  Daryo: that doesn't explain what's exactly the role of this "Civil Registrar General", what kind of beast it's supposed to be in the bureaucratic jungle ...
3 hrs
  -> no bureaucratic jungle at all. Should be quite clear what a registrar doesl But added definitions anyway...

Civil Registrar Chief / Highest office of Civil Registrar


Explanation:
If it is the title of a person, then it means the chief or the head of the Office of Civil Registrar.

Civil Registrar General could also be the name of a government agency. In that case, it means the Main office of Civil Registrar or the Highest Office of Civil Registrar. If this is the case, then the person signing the paper is just an authorized representative of that office.

Civil Registrar: a government agency where civil matters like births, deaths, marriages are registered and certificates issued.

Reference: the highest consulate of a country set up in another country is called the Consulate General. The head of a Consulate General is called the Consul General.
