Dutch term or phrase: waavan akte, welke is voorgelezen

at the bottom of the birth certificate followed by signatures. I have several possible translations but none seem right. Have checked past KudoZ questions, but answers don't seem to fit.

whereof deed, which has been read aloud

Explanation:
Based on several years of translating such stuff. Van den End recommends omitting 'waarvan akte,' however, most, if not all, Dutch civil-law notaries would strenuously object. This is still given in various curricula for NL>EN Dutch civil-law translation workshops designed for civil-law notaries.

If you prefer to omit 'waarvan akte,' you could render this as: "This deed has been read aloud..."
