French term or phrase: Où étant et parlant...
This is a legal document. A process server is delivering documents and included the phrase "où étant et parlant comme dit en la signification en annexe". This appears directly after the addressee's name and home address. Thanks very much for your help!

The phrase is a standard legal formula: ...
Explanation:
Literally, "where having been present and spoken to [the person on whom the process has been served]..."

In your document, it continues with "...as mentioned in the annexed [or "attached"] notice...."

As an alternative to rendering it literally, you could always simply paraphrase: "The addressee was seen and spoken to personally by the undersigned..."
