Venezuelan Marriage Certificate
'Que en los libros de Registro Civil de Matrimonios, llevados por este despacho en el año xxx, acta no. xxxx'
I'm translating a Venezuelan Civil Marriage record and struggling slightly with the wording of this section. This sentence appears at the beginning of the document.

The whole phrase describes *the act of inscription*, and therefore "maintained" is not meant here.

: "Entered" would have been "registrado" (en este despacho) in the source text.

: the books/registers are not entered/registered, it's the contents of them which are, so this cannot be right; "entered" would be "registrado(s)"

: I prefer "keep" for "llevar" = llevar libros, keep books. IT REFERS TO THE BOOKS, NOT THE REGISTERS.

I think the Registers and the books are synonymous, don't you?
