May not be a huissier instrumentaire. namely a court bailiff.

Daryo
: the references are the right one, but not the answer as it's a different question: "huissier ...- a "process server" has no say whatsoever in the content of the documents entrusted to him, his job is only to "serve" them on the intended recipient.

: I would like to see more than this previous KudoZ to convince me that this is definitively a process server or bailiff

In this case it would be an Officer Presiding, for example, at a court or Court martial

Re: comments, sorry i should probably have put a 4 confidence level on this rather than 5. I agree that there is not enough context. I still think my answer is correct in relation to administrative and military also to other types of tribunal or court but it would depend on jurisdictiom and. Context. I will be more careful next time. K

: Well courts have Presiding Judges, and the official in charge is usually the Clerk of the Court. Although we have insufficient context, you still need to back up your answer.

officier instrumentaire
INSTRUMENTAIRE, adj.
DROIT
A. − [En parlant d'un officier ministériel] Qui rédige des instruments, des actes publics. Le choix du défenseur dépend presque toujours de l'agent instrumentaire. Entre le client et l'avocat, les relations d'autrefois ont disparu; tout se fait par l'intermédiaire de l'avoué ou du notaire (Reybaud, J. Paturot,1842, p. 108).
♦ Emploi subst. Pierre et Placide, qui ne connaissaient que quelques crapules joviales des cabinets d'affaires de la Côte d'Azur faisant des moulinets avec des mots, restaient muets devant cet instrumentaire secret [le notaire] et qui sentait le complot (Morand, Homme pressé,1941, p. 38).

all this "officier instrumentaire" is doing is "rédiger l'instrument" nothing more and nothing else

Discussion
1) You would tell us which country this is from (there are many systems, many jurisdictions)
2) You could give at least one complete sentence containing the term and tell us exactly what the document is
3) You could tell us whether this is from a civil, criminal or administrative court
Basically the one confirming by his signature "I wrote this".
