English translation: Verwaltungsangestellte

German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Administrative Abbreviation
German term or phrase: VAe
This is from a certificate for change of surname from the Landratsamt in Sonthofen, Oberallgäu.

It is next to the name of an officer who has signed part of the document. I take this to be the abbreviation of an official position at the Landratsamt.
