Spanish term or phrase: secretaría general [en un registro civil paraguayo]
Estoy traduciendo un certificado de acta de matrimonio de Paraguay y su transcripción en los libros del registro. La pareja contrajo matrimonio en los Estados Unidos y registró el matrimonio en Paraguay. La traducción es para los Estados Unidos.

En el certificado del acta de matrimonio paraguayo dice:

"Oficina Registral: **Secretaría General**. Datos de la inscripción: Volumen: 0. Caja: 0. "

El documento presenta varios sellos que rezan: Registro del Estado Civil. Oficina No. 36. **Secretaría General**.

También aparece el sello de una persona que reza: [Nombre]. Secretaria General No. 36. Firma autorizada.

Estoy tratando de entender a qué se refiere exactamente en Paraguay. ¿A la oficina del secretario? ¿A la oficina del registrador? La traducción "registrar's office" la he visto solo como equivalente de las secretarías de las universidades. Cuando busco "secretaria general" sí encuentro "general clerk".

Es la última consulta sobre el tema. Gracias nuevamente
