Robert Carter
: I agree that it's virtually the same thing, only the "acto" seems to me to mean the recording of the birth, not the birth itself (which in legal terms is an "hecho").

As an alternative, I don't think there's a lot of distance between Phil's idea and this suggestion. My only quibble (albeit a very minor one) is that, strictly speaking, "acto" means the recording of information of the birth, not the birth event itself.
My sense on reading the sentence is that the information was recorded on this sheet first, then transcribed in a register book, which may not always be the case.

"Actos y hechos registrables
Articulo 3. Deben inscribirse en el Registro Civil los actos y hechos jurídicos que se mencionan a continuación:
1. El nacimiento.
2. La constitución y disolución del vínculo matrimonial
3. El reconocimiento, constitución y disolución de las uniones estables de
hecho.
4. La separación de cuerpos.
5. La filiación.
6. La adopción..."
Moreover, that answer is not strictly correct in any case because the "acto" in that case refers to the "meeting of minds" being recorded in the document. It doesn't mean the document itself.
And Yvonne seems to think, anyway, that it refers to the document. Why make the translation more convoluted than it actually needs to be?
@Yvonne: Thanks for clarifying.
@Barbara: I think you're confusing "acto" with "acta". An "acto" in administrative law usually means some kind of action or measure by the authority, i.e. something "done"; whereas "acta" generally means the record of some action.
