Spanish term (edited):
levantada por el Ciudadano Oficial 1 del registro civil para lo cual expido
drawn up by Hon. Officer No. 1 of the Registry of Vital Records (BMD and) for which purpose I issue
la siguiente constancia certificada de: the following certified record of:
No need for all caps.
Vital Records in AmE, as opposed to BMD: BrE/ Birth, Marriages(*) & Deaths, as (*almost) recorded at the GRO - General *Register* vs. Registry Office.
C. / Ciudadano : Honorary Mexican Title, so ProZ advice is to 'omit'.
Levantada translated as recorded might clash with constancia as a record.
No 1. in superiority rather than the district serial number of the Registry usualy counting, like courts of law or notarial offices, from the city or town center / centre outwards.

: I'm with the 'ProZ advice'. 'Hon.' doesn't make sense unless it's a judge or politician, for example.

drawn up by Officer #1 of the Civil Registry, for which purpose I issue
...the following....
# commonly used in USA to denote number
The temptation to translate Registro Civil as Vital Records Office (USA) or Births, Marriages and Deaths (UK) should IMO be resisted as unnecessary localization - the source is not USA or UK but Mexico.

Prepared by the Registrar of Civil Registry Office No. 1. I therefore issue the following...
Not the number of the "registrar", but of the physical office or department.
I've answered this previously and explained why here:
https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish-to-english/law-contracts/...
I do however agree with Allegro's point about not translating "Registro Civil" as "Office of Vital Records" or along those lines.
