Office of the Director General, of the Civil Registry Office

Frequently encountered. No special issues.
Alternative 1: Registrar General, of the Civil Registry Office.
Alternative 2: Office of the Registrar General, of the Civil Registry Office.
Alternative 3: General Director, of the Civil Registry Office.
Alternative 4: Directorate General, of the Civil Registry Office.
Alternative 5 (eliminates the repetition of the word "Office", which is apt to cause some readers to pause): Office of the Director General, of the Civil Registry.
Peer comment(s):
neutral O G V : pero es "Dirección", no "Director"
