French term or phrase: soussigné
"Je, soussigné, xxx, atteste que ...."

This is for an affidavit. I would like to know the equivalent usage in Spanish, preferably as used locally in the Caribbean region.
Germaine A Hoston
Spanish translation:El abajo firmante...
Explanation:
In Spanish this is used for affidavits and notarial documents. If the person signing the document is a female, "La abajo firmante", if it is female and plural, "Las abajo firmantes", if male and plural "Los abajo firmantes", if it is a group of male and female, "Los abajo firmantes". I have a lot of experience with affidavits and official documents (I am a sworn translator myself and have dealt with that type of documents quite a lot!)
