Spanish term
a quien en esta acto conozco e identifico por medio de su Doc. Único de I.D.
Spanish to English
Law/Patents
Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs
Notarial Certificate/Affidavit from El Salvador
The phrase before states that the Notaria (i.e., Public Notary) is the one making reference to the appearing parties. I am having difficulty translating this entire phrase using correct U.S. legal terms. I am thinking something along the lines of "hereby known to me by means of their Unique Identity Cards." Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

whom I know, and whom I have identified in this proceeding by his Individual Identity Document
Or "her" instead of his, if appropriate.
I think that "individual" works a bit better than "unique" here.

Based on the posted text and the information provided by the Asker, it cannot be assumed that the Notary knows the individual in question apart from their encounter in the proceeding, and other than on the basis of the identification provided. (If the Notary is personally acquainted with a party appearing at the Notary Office, then this is explicitly stated.)

Hi Darcy.
"Whom" is appropriate in both cases, since both are instances of *object pronouns* rather than *subject pronouns*.

Note from asker:
| Thank you, Robert! I have just one question-- Do you think it should read "who" I know in the beginning (i.e, "who I know, and whom...")? |
| Thank you, Robert, for clearing that up! Very best, Darcy |
