English to Arabic Law/Patents Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs

Hello
I'm translating, from English into Polish, a Yemeni birth certificate which was originally translated from Arabic into English.
I've posted my question in this langauge pair because I think EnglishArabic translators would be best suited to answer my question. if you could please look at this picture: http://tinyurl.com/y79db3lf

What does ''directorate'' mean in this table at the bottom? Is this a sort of administrative unit?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
