authentication
Hi, I am translating an authentication of a police clearance certificate issued in Costa Rica, and I have an idea of how to translate a term, but I am not sure if there is already an english equivalent for such term. Below an excerpt of the source text:
Advertencias de nulidad y validez: Si este folio es desprendido de los folios adjuntos, o los sellos de esta Dirección que serven de liga o unión con dicho folio se encentran "rotos" o alterados, la **razón de autenticación** queda automáticamente anulada. El presente trámite de legalización de firma no implica convalidación, ni prejuzga la legalidad, validez, eficacia, autenticidad o legitimidad del documento adjunto ni de su contenido....
razón de autenticación > purpose of authentication?
Is there a more appropriate translation for such term?
In advance, thanks a lot!

legal validity
The razón is the (intangible) legal validity of the (tangible) document (the certificate).
In English, the entire phrase would normally be rendered differently, without making the intangible/tangible distinction of the Spanish. For example:
the authentication shall be automatically considered as null and void.
or
this certificate shall be automatically be deemed void.
