This appears on a stamp on the "children" section of a "livret de famille". Is this some kind of administrative department? I can't seem to find any official translation.

Many thanks in advance.

En principe (En France) sur le livret de famille (family record book), vous devriez avoir le sceau de la mairie avec la signature de l'officier de l'état civil. "Extrait d'acte de naissance N°xxx, Le xxx, à xxx heures, est né(e) du sexe, à, reconnu(e) par et par, délivré conformément aux registres, le xxx. mentions marginales, et c'est tout! Est-ce qu'il s'agit d'une copie du livret de famille, visée par exemple, par l'intendance du collège ou du lycée de l'enfant? Bref, il nous faut plus de contexte.

More context What else is in this section? A school? Are there any clues to AG? Where is this - France (dept?) or elsewhere?

or General Administration

I had a sneaking feeling there was a military connection, and your second question confirmed my suspicions. However I can find no direct confirmation on the internet, hence low confidence level
"Intendance" in a military context would probably be "commissariat"

Intedance means stewardship and AG here stands for managing authority.
