(I accept service and will note the result thereof) by subsequent certificate [of service]
Explanation:
Notary accepting service of a writ on behalf of s.o. or a co.?
1. Diligencia > notarially, 'action taken' but not really action taken hereafter/ thereafter.
A process-server would issue an 'affidavit of service'. A notray, I reckon, a cert. of serv.
2. consignar > enter; record. 'En/indorse' the result will also work though, in BE, it's the writ that's 'indorsed' with the actual claim.
