French term (edited): Ordre des sages-femmes, Conseil national de l'ordre des sages-femmes

For midwives, the official body is the ‘Ordre des sages-femmes’ which has a Conseil national, but the body itself does not have the word ‘national’.
The doctors’ professional body is the ‘Ordre national des médecins’, the nurses’ professional body likewise.

Although wary of doing a calque onto a UK equivalent, by wayw of information the UK has a joint professional ad regulatory body for nurses and midwives, set up uner a Nursing and Midwifery Order :

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/253/contents/made


And in its operational form as a statutory body under the title of 'Nursing and Midwifery Council'.

http://www.nmc-uk.org/About-us/Our-role/

To sum up :
In France, the midwives' professional body (without the word 'national') is the Ordre des sages-femmes.
There is a Conseil national de l'ordre des sages-femmes (note the use of 'national' here)

In the UK, the professional body differs in one major way in that midwives and nurses share the professional body, the 'Nursing and Midwifery Council' which comprises a number of committees dealing with various matters, similar in function to the 'Conseil national' of the French body.

Before decising how to translate it, you need to clarify the French original as the correct term is not the 'Ordre national...". Is your original referring to the ordre or to the Conseil???


If you consider your possibilities as being :
Ordre des sages-femmes, Conseil national de l'ordre des sages-femmes

then a UJ parallel with the caveats mentionned would be :
~ Nursing and Midwifery Council (UK), National committee of the Nursing and Midwifery Council

However, once you have got the original sorted out, then go for something general and descriptive, indicating in a footnote, if strictly necessary the name of the UK professional body.

My suggestion adheres to a strictly descriptive rendering based on a corrected version of the French original... if I have made a valid correction, that is!!!

As for "numéro d'inscription", I would chose "registration number" or "identification number".

Given the issue with the use of 'national' in the original which may erroneous, you mgiht like to put the 'national' idea with the registration /I.D. number, thus :

"national identification number with the [French ]National Order of Midwives"

To the Asker :
I am not surprised that the stamp has
'Ordre des sages-femmes' (as that is the name of the body)
followed by the name of (one of) its internal structures the
'Conseil national'.

It is standard practice not to translate proper nouns and titles of bodies, organisations etc. I see no reason to deviate from that approach here. As SJLD has pointed out, a generic term would be most appropriate.

What I do in such cases is repeat the French title/name and write a generic expression in tiny italic type in brackets underneath.
