Spanish term or phrase: Hecho por

Hi,

I'm translating a Cuban marriage certificate from Spanish to British English. I'm having trouble with the phrase above. Please see below for context:

'El registrador certifica que los anteriores datos concuerdan con los que aparecen consignados en la inscripción a que se hace referencia.

Confrontado por: _________
Hecho por: ______________'

Would 'Drawn up by:' be an appropriate translation? I'm not 100% sure.

Many thanks!

I'd use "Drafted" rather than "Drawn up" because it's a header, and brevity is the soul of wit... :)

NB: In Spain, I'd expect to see something more formal, like "Expedido por" (Issued by) on a marriage certificate and similar documents.
