Uittreksel uit het bevolkingsregister weet ik (= extract of/from the population register, althans volgens Jurlex/Van den End). Maar burgerlijke stand? Merkwaardig spellingsverschil overigens tussen 'burgerlijke' en 'burgemeester' valt me nu op...

copy of an entry in the population register
Declined
An 'uittreksel' is formally referred to as a 'copy of an entry in a register' in UK English (and afaik also in AUS, NZ and IRL). They are frequently also referred to as 'certificates'.
As for 'burgerlijke stand': do you mean 'burgerlijke stand' or 'bevolkingsregister'? Despite the way the term 'burgerlijke stand' is used in the vernacular, the terms do in fact refer to two distinct things.
If you mean 'burgerlijke stand', the translation is 'registry of births, deaths and marriages'.
If you mean 'bevolkingsregister' (formally known as the Gemeentelijke Basisadministratie Persoonsgegevens or GBA), the translation is 'population register'.
The difference is that the 'burgerlijke stand' records life events, i.e. births, deaths and marriages, whereas the 'bevolkingsregister' records details of who is resident in a given place.
-> "De registers van de Burgerlijke Stand worden dikwijls verwisseld met het Bevolkingsregister. Dit is een heel andere instantie, die andere gegevens bewaart. In de registers van de Burgerlijke Stand worden bepaalde gebeurtenissen vastgelegd: geboorte, huwelijk en overlijden. Het Bevolkingsregister legt vast wie er per woning in de gemeente woont. Daarbij wordt geregistreerd wanneer de bewoners daar zijn gekomen, waar ze vandaan komen en als ze vertrekken waarheen ze zijn gegaan."
