Spanish term

Subdirección General de Régimen Jurídico Local

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) legalisation of documents (Spain)
Legalización de documentos
Documentos de las Administraciones Públicas territoriales:

* Entidades locales
Se puede usar cualquiera de los tres procedimientos siguientes:
1. Vía Judicial
2. Vía Notarial
3. Acudir a la Dirección General para la Administración Local (Subdirección General de Régimen Jurídico Local) del Ministerio de Administraciones Públicas donde se reconocerá en el documento la firma.

I cannot make heads or tails of this part "Dirección General para la Administración Local (Subdirección General de Régimen Jurídico Local)".
I have looked at the organisation chart at http://www.map.es/ , but this did not help.

The text I am translating is from this website: http://www.mae.es/en/MenuPpal/Consulares/Servicios Consulare...

I am translating into Latvian, so I would prefer an explanation rather than simple translation into English.

Thanks in advance!

Section for Local Legal Services

This is a suggestion! I lived ten years in Spain and what the term in parenthesis seems to refer to is a sub-office or section within a general office. The problem with 'directorate' as a term is that in English it has few real applications, whereas the Spanish is used for head offices of all sorts in public administration. It also depends on the function of the target-language document: if the receipient needs to actually use the services indicated, the name will have to be included in the source language.
