Spanish term

por ser de mi conocida

Spanish to English Other Law (general)
DOY FE: que considero legítima la firma y rúbrica que anteceden del XXXX, Rector de XXX, por ser de mi conocida y coincidir con la que usa habitualmente.

Sé que "personally known to me" se usa cuando el notario dice que conoce a la persona. ¿Pero cómo se dice cuando se refiere a la firma de la persona?

¿Se usa "known to me" también?: the foregoing signature and rubric (...) are genuine and known to me...


Gracias

Es Doctor en Derecho, pero eso no lo dice, así que mejor traduzco literalmente.

Re "Excelentísimo y magnífico señor XXX...." To give an equivalent in English, could you tell me, is he a Doctor, a Bishop, a Lawyer.. etc.? We would not generally use "His Excellency" in English unless the person was for example a very senior diplomat

Thanks Ana, here is my suggestion for the whole sentence:
I HEREBY ATTEST: that X, Rector of the University of X, who is known to me and whose signature I recognize, has above appended his signature hereto.
(I don't personally think you need "His Excellency" in English)
Note from asker:
Hola: me gusta tu opción, pero como vengo redactando la oración en inglés, no estoy muy segura de cómo enganchar tu opción: I hereby attest that the foregoing signature and rubric of His Excellency X, Rector of Universidad X, are genuine... ¿Cómo engacharía tu opción?
Gracias por la ayuda. Puse his Excellency porque en el original dice: Excelentísimo y magnífico señor XXX....
