What does this mean?

What does "an office of record" mean? Would you please paraphrase it?
What's more, it is strange to see "having a seal" here. We would never say this in Chinese, cause such an institution certainly has a seal.

seems that 'which office' should be 'whose office'. Isn't it an attributive clause?

angela,
The "office of record" is the state office in the U.S. that keeps the original or official copy of vital records such as birth, death, marriage certificates, etc. for the purpose of government business. The seal verifies that any copies made are official copies of the original. Each state in the U.S. has its own seal.

it's a department that keeps 'records' such as documents about when someone was born, died, gotten married and such
I think he means that 'he has a seal' and now can certify what ever needs to be certified.
