Portuguese term (edited): Conservat�ria do Registro de Autom�vel

In English, a "Registrar" is a *person* who is responsible for maintaining records of some kind. If anything, "Registro" in the present phrase would have to be translated "registry".

"Conservatoria" would seem to suggest an "archive" or "repository" (i.e., a place where records are stored).

Please see references for two examples of the use of "Department of Motor Vehicle Records", which has 3,730 Yahoo hits. In the United States, this is a function of each individual state government.

Boa sorte.
