Translation Help

Hi all,

I am translating my Colombian marriage certificate and have run into a few terms that I understand, but I am not sure of the best translation. Here are the terms along with my preliminary translations. If anyone knows the correct terms for any of these, please post them.

Thanks a lot,
CG

mac,

Thanks, but that doesn't sound right.

The section of the certificate in question is Documento que acredita el matrimonio
and under Tipo de Documento the choices are Acta Religiosa and Escritura de Protocolizacion.

It sounds almost like a marriage license or something along those lines.

Peace,
CG

Police station will be translated as "estacion de plicia", but I am not colombian. I am from Cuba. Also I would translate "serial number" as "numero de serie", and of this I am sure since I studied Math both here in the US and in my country.

Certificate of birth will be translated as "certificado de nacimiento". If I think of any other, I will post them here.

God, I hope I am never arrested by the "plicia."
