Legal recording of data
The general area is the right of people who have been adopted to know their biological origins, as discussed in an academic paper. Specifically, this passage deals with how births are registered under Spanish and Catalan law:
En el ordenamiento jurídico español y catalán, la maternidad se determina por el parto, se acredita con el certificado de nacimiento y el título de estado es la inscripción en el Registro Civil.
So far I have the following:
In the Spanish and Catalan legal systems, maternity is determined by birth and accredited by the birth certificate, while the state’s record consists of inscription in the Public Registry.
I don't know if there is a more specific translation for "el título de estado"? Many thanks in advance!

(documentary) proof of status
Spanruss is right; "estado" doesn't mean state (or government) here, it means estado civil, which is not limited to marital status. "Título" means a legal instrument establishing the status in question, in this case maternity. So "título de estado" means the instrument that proves status, but I think "proof of status" alone is sufficient.
"TITULO DE ESTADO.
Es el instrumento público o conjunto de instrumentos públicos de los que resulta el estado de familia de una persona y es la prueba por excelencia para acreditar dicho estado.
Por ejemplo: El título del estado matrimonial es el acta de matrimonio, el título de estado de la filiación legítima es la partida de nacimiento del hijo y el acta de matrimonio de los padres."

the title of mother
I think this sentence has a structure that logically relates each clause to the next. I don't think it is best to translate the phrase "el título de estado" simply and literally. I suggest rephrasing the entire sentence to read: ". . . the title of mother is determined by the childbirth itself and is registered via a birth certificate in the Civil Registry."
