French term

état civil

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) instructions for making a declaration
The context is a declaration to Afssaps of the status of a company supplying raw materials for the manufacturing or distribution of pharmaceuticals. I am not sure how to translate "état civil" in this context. Is it just the identification details of the person responsible? Or is there a more specific term in English?
Many thanks for any suggestions.

"La personne responsable de l'établissement peut être la même que la personne qui dirige l'entreprise à laquelle appartient juridiquement l'établissement (siège social pour les sociétés) mais ce n'est pas toujours le cas. Il convient d'en communiquer l'état civil, de cocher la case qui correspond à la fonction du responsable de létablissement ou d'instruire la rubrique "autres" en précisant la fonction exercée par le responsable de l'établissement..."

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "In this context, I think personal details fits best although thanks to GTC too for ID details which would probably do the trick too. Civil status seems to regard (also) marriage and kids which are not relevant in this context. Thanks very much to all for their help."

Identification details

Je pense que vous avez raison. Il s'agit bien de l'identification de la personne.
