firma y otorga

English translation: I think you're right. "Firma" is signature. "otorgar" means to "execute," so you couldn't/shouldn't

Spanish term or phrase: firma y otorga
"Ante mi firma y otorga, doy fe del mismo."
The word otorga has me baffled. Could it be the same as "Under my hand and seal, I certify."?

executes


Explanation:
"Before me, [the party appearing] so signs and executes [this document/instrument], I hereby certify.
Note: The verb conjugation (and sense of the phrase) suggests third person rather than first person. The "me" in this sentence refers to the notary public witnessing the execution of legal some document.
