agree  writeaway: saw that too, but since this is 100% guesswork, didn't post it since we don't even know for sure if the abbreviation is German or English.
12 hrs
  -> Thank you, writeaway. - Yes, true, however, my feeling was from the very beginning that BK, BNG ... were German abbreviations - don't know why ... ;-)
agree  Tony M: Oh, I'm so pleased, well done! I too had the same hunch, without really knowing why!

Beglaubigungs Kontrolle


Explanation:
Here is the explanation I got from NOTARIAT ZÜRICH (ALTSTADT):

"The meaning of " BK Nr." is: "Beglaubigungs Kontrolle" and refers to the numbers in our book in which we inscribe the official certifications made by our notarial office".
