Italian term

M.R.

Italian to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs M.R.
Hi all,
I found this abbreviation in a certificate of baptism and on a birth certificate.
At the very bottom the certificates say:
"Visto per la legalizzazione della firma del M. R."
I though it would be "Ministro Religioso", but I am not 100% sure since I could not find anywhere.
Thank you for your help!

@LaraBarnett, I'm sorry I did not get a notification of your message. One certificate is very old and from Istria (when it was still part of Italy) and the other one is from Vicenza.

@ EBoscolo Do you know what region/province this birth certificate was issued by?

I found the same abbreviation on another sentence:
"Al M.R. Ufficio Parrocchiale di __". I am confused because it seems that M.R. is an adjective of "Ufficio Parrocchiale". If it was "ministro religioso" or "molto reverendo" it should be "AL M.R. dell'Ufficio Parrocchiale". Any thoughts?

It's possible the "R" may stand for "redattore" or "responsabile".

neutral Kate Chaffer : Wouldn't that need a name after it?
