First of all, "健康与心理卫生局" is the translation appeared in the official Chinese edition documents.

incorrect answer. the translation of `未对事实进行调查: no inquiry as to the facts has been provided` is incorrect.

@wilson You are right. I shouldn't split the phrase "as provided by law". I will edit my answer. Let me know what you think about it.

<p>因沒有法定聆訊, 健康與心理衛生局不會證實以上陳述的真確性.</p>

<ul>
<li>certify = 證實</li>

<p>Actually, the phrase "no inquiry as to the facts has been provided by law" somehow appears to me that the Dept. does not have the authority to do so.</p>

*"inquiry as to the facts = 聆訊 / 研訊"*: "聆訊" would be a better choice here. "研訊" is almost exclusively used in "死因研訊" ([Inquest](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquest)), which is a specific type of "聆訊" (Inquiry).

<p>On NYC's death certificate, there is this sentence: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The department of Health and Mental Hygiene does not certify to the
  truth of the statements made thereon, as no inquiry as to the facts
  has been provided by law.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I am trying to translate it into Chinese: 鉴于没有法务部门作出特殊要求，卫生局不对以上陈述的真实性负责。</p>

<p>It is a little inaccurate, but I can't think of any better translation that would make sense in Chinese. Any suggestion?</p>

I think the meaning of "as no inquiry as to the facts has been provided by law" is distorted by the translation ... it should be interpreted as "... because under the provisions of the law, no ***official investigation*** (=inquiry) for the facts has been our obligation." So, it would better be translated as 鉴于法律没有要求对事实进行调查，健康与心理卫生局不对以上陈述的真实性负责。

因沒有法定聆訊, 健康與心理衛生局不會證實以上陳述的真確性.

* certify = 證實
* truth = 真確性
* statements = 聲明 / 陳述
* made thereon = 有關 / 以上
* inquiry as to the facts = 聆訊 / 研訊
* .... provided by law = 法律規定

Actually, the phrase "no inquiry as to the facts has been provided by law" somehow appears to me that the Dept. does not have the authority to do so.
