Mexican public notary notice
I am translating a Mexican public notary document where the notary states:
"siendo de mi conocimiento y con capacidad legal, lo que certifico y quien bajo protesta de decir verdad DECLARO: ----"
The notary is certifying a statement a client is making just after the above sentence.
My attempt:
"being of sound mind and with legal capacity, I certify and under sworn oath to tell the truth do DECLARE:--"
"siendo de mi conocimiento y con capacidad legal, lo que certifico y quien bajo protesta de decir verdad DECLARO: ----"

whom I know and who is legally competent
The CONTEXT is insufficient and I would especially like to see what comes immediately before, but more or less it should go like this:
...compareció Pablo Pérez García, (siendo de mi conocimiento y con capacidad legal, lo que certifico y quien bajo protesta de decir verdad DECLARÓ...)
...whom I know and who is legally competent, to which I am certifying, and who STATED under oath to tell the truth...
...compareció Pablo Pérez García, (siendo de mi conocimiento y con capacidad legal, lo que certifico y quien bajo protesta de decir verdad DECLARÓ...)
...whom I know and who is legally competent, to which I am certifying, and who STATED under oath to tell the truth...

who is known to me personally and is legally competent
This is what I use - very similar to the other two, but I'm not copying them. I have used this a lot.
