Spanish term

o ante fedatario

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Mexico
Aun cuando en el contrato de crédito en que se funde la acción de su vencimiento anticipado, aparezca que en una de sus cláusulas se convino que el banco quedaría facultado para restringir el importe del crédito o el plazo para hacer uso del mismo o para denunciar el contrato en cualquier tiempo, mediante aviso dado al acreditado por escrito con acuse de recibo o ante fedatario, a elección de la institución bancaria, pero esa convención no se pactó en la diversa estipulación donde se consignó la potestad de dicha acreedora para dar por vencido anticipadamente el crédito, cuando el acreditado incumpliera con alguna de las obligaciones asumidas de su parte en el referido acuerdo de voluntades, es claro que en este último caso no cobra aplicación lo relativo al aviso a que se refiere la cláusula primeramente citada.

by giving written notice to the borrower with acknowledgment of receipt or **to the certifying public officer**?

PeterIII Feb 16, 2009:
Certifying Officer/Notary public Although a Notary Public is a Certifying Officer not all Certifying Officers are Notaries. The banking context leads me to beleive that not only Notaries may serve as Certifying Officers.

Reference:

"Fedatario" not only refers to notaries, but also to others who "ejercen la fe pública"

Although most often associated with notaries, in Spanish the word "fe pública" refers to anyone authorized to "ejercer la fe pública" (i.e., anyone authorized to certify documents as authentic). Thus, in Spain and I assume in Mexico, there is "fe pública notarial," "fe pública judicial," "fe pública registral," "fe pública administrativa," etc. and "fedetarios (públicos)" include not only notaries, but also court clerks, registrars, certain authorized civil servants, and if certification is required in a foreign country, the local consul "ejerce la fe pública" in his jurisdiction.

agree Henry Hinds : Good work, and in Mexico the word "fedatario" is used generically.

Thanks, Henry, for your comment and confirmation that "fedatario" is used similarly in Mexico
agree Patrick Weill : Thank you Rebecca, P.S. In my West's Law Dictionary, "Authenticating Official" appears. That worked best for my context.
