The correct one-word substitute for a place where government records are kept is archive.

• Cloakroom refers to a room where people can leave their coats and other belongings.
• Cache refers to a hidden store of something, especially money or weapons.
• Hangar refers to a large building for storing aircraft.
• Archive refers to a collection of historical documents or records, especially those of a government, a family, a place, or an organization.

Archive is the most appropriate word for this group of words because it specifically refers to a place where government records are kept. The other words do not have the same connotation of official records.
