administration générale des contributions

I don't really know what's the standard for birth certificates translation, but I'd wager that kind of official institution's name shouldn't be translated. Like the American "NASA" is always "NASA", no matter in which language.

Yes, that'd be ideal.
agree Ryan_Fr2Eng (X) : It should be capitalized. For further clarification I would add (Département des Finances), the department that created it.
