deputy clerk/registrar
You assumed correctly. The registrars have deputies, who replace him in occasional absences. Sometimes, more than one, as it seems to be the case here, where the person is the third deputy registrar.

alternate registrar
this is what I use, because sometimes the same document will have other titles and I might need "deputy" for someone else. I believe but am not positive that these registrars have pre-determined alternates. To me, "interim" or "acting" is for "em exercicio" when the registrar might be absent for a longer time or a new one hasn't been appointed yet.
