Municipal Civil Registrar
Explanation:
Municipal offices are usually near town council offices, and they're connected with local government.

agree  AllegroTrans: Your pocket dictionary has (totally by chance) got this correct but "Municipal offices are usually near town council offices" is laughable. I think most of us know what local government is. As for the rest of your "explanation" it's clearly MT

County Clerk-Recorder of Civil Marriages, USA


Explanation:
'When in doubt, translate literally', though the asker is in the US of A, so it would be civil to localize the answer accordingly.

UK often: Local Superintendent Registrar of Civil Marriages at the Register vs. Registry Office.



Example sentence(s):
  • In California, the Clerk-Recorder of an individual county is empowered to allow individuals to be deputized for a day to perform one individual civil (non-religious) wedding ceremony.Use of these powers varies between counties;
  • Santa Cruz offers a *Deputy Commissioner of Civil Marriages* for a Day Program.

disagree  AllegroTrans: The text is not from Arkansas, but from a city or town (muncipality) in Honduras, so "State" would be misleading
