I am translating a Mexican Birth Certificate, and I don't know what the "C." stands for. Any one knows what it stands for? Have you seen it translated already into something specific?
Here are the couple of sentences where it appears:
"Y como director general del registro civil en el estado, certifico: que en libro...del archivo general ...se encuentra .... levantada por el ***C. Oficial*** __--___ del Registro Civil [Fulano de Tal]...."
"Se extiende esta certificacion, en cumplimiento de [tal ley] en [tal fecha] doy fe: El ***C. Director General *** del Registro Civil...."

Hon. Official ___of the Civil Register/Hon. Director-General of the Civil Register
C.____ stands for "Ciudadano" in Mexican official documents (from Thomas L. West III's Spanish-English Dictionary of Law and Business) but it is not customary to use "Citizen" in English. "Honorable" would be appropriate.
