Thanks Teresa.
agree philgoddard : I think "those appearing" sounds a bit literal, though. Maybe "the parties".

Thanks Phil.
agree Sandro Tomasi : Agree w/ Phil, maybe “the parties before me/the court/etc.” also, is there a reason for the past tense in English (“given”)?

It's a bit of a historical present thing. The notary signs to say what has happened in the document and the past sounds better in my view. It's not that critical though.
agree Henry Hinds : Right, in English the past is more appropriate than the historical present often used in Spanish.

I do give such to the appearers

The historical present tense is notarially acceptable, both in the UK/City of London and the US.

Obviously, the international notarial message of appearer isn't getting through.

Notarial authority as quoted in *Brooke's Notary*, Sweet & Maxwell - is cited below for appearer instead of person or party appearing.

‎
Example sentence:

that the document was read over to and acknowledged by the appearer, and signed (and in some cases sealed) by the appearer in the notary's and witnesses

Reference:

Peer comment(s):
neutral AllegroTrans : whilst not "wrong" I very seldom see 21st century English notaries using this archaic tense, most of them believe in plain English nowadays
