acting city clerk

English to German Law/Patents Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Heiratsurkunde

Hallo in die Runde,

in einer Bestätigungsurkunde für eine Heiratsurkunde begegnet mit der Begriff "acting city clerk" - klar, der städtische Urkundsbeamte, aber was bedeutet das "acting" in diesem Zusammenhang?

Der ganze Satz lautet: "Whose name is subscribed to the annexed original instrument has been commissioned and qualified as ACTING CITY CLERK and has filed his/her original signature in this office and that he/she was at the time of taking such proof or acknowledgment or oath duly authorized by the laws of the State of New York to take the same: that he/she is well acquainted with the handwriting of such public officer or has compared the signature on the certificate of proof or acknowledgment or oath with the original signature filed in his/her office by such public officer and he/she believes that the signature on the original instrument is genuine."

Eigentlich dachte ich, ich finde diesen Standardvermerk auch irgendwo online, aber irgendwie war ich da bisher wenig erfolgreich.

Ist das der "diensthabende" oder eher der "stellvertretende" Beamte? Für beides finde ich Hinweise im Netz?!?

Vielen Dank für Eure Unterstützung :-)
