issued on two pages

"Pliego" is nothing but a sheet of paper. You can say "sheet," or "folio," or "pages," or whatever fits in the context.

"Pliego" comes from "plegar," "to fold." In Spain, a "pliego" is a large sheet of paper folded into two; it is numbered only on one of the pages, so when you get it it will be numbered consecutively, but only every other page. A real pain because you can't use automatic pagination in Word. Butterworth's describes it as "quadrangular piece of paper which is folded in the middle."

The answer above - "notarial records / seals" - is absolutely NOT correct. You just have to look it up in the dictionary.

disagree Billh : By your very explanation it is sheets, not pages. A sheet has two pages, unless it is folded in the middle when it then has four. The answer is issued on two sheets....

A sheet does not have "two pages." Oxford: "sheet: a rectangular piece of paper"
agree claudia bagnardi : Ok. Now I see my mistake. The Notary Public is certifying that the document is issued on two sheets. Ok.

notarial records / seals

That's how Notaries say it.
Hope this helps

Note from asker:
Thanks Claudia. I found it helpful! People can be rude on here, but I'm not entirely sure that's their intention. I do think people could take an extra moment to think about what they are typing to make sure it's worded in a way that's constructive and not insulting. There is a lot of ego on here to be the best and most knowledgeable that can get a bit tiring.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Steven Hanley (X) : That's not "how Notaries say it."

No need to be rude. I apologize for my brief explanation. I meant: The original wording is typical of Notaries Public in Spanish language, and it refers to a numbered document generally called Notarial Record.
disagree Billh : Nada que ver.....
