Well, judging from the reference (p. 4 or 5) doc I found, the phrase is the default opening to the notary's official swearing paragraph/passage. It looks like all he's saying is I'm recording it on this page of my notary book so I would just ignore the phrase and cut to the core.
Literally, it sounds like it derives from "Having my notary book open before me to..., I hereby issue and sign", but that sounds really unwieldy to me for a document in English. Maybe you could find some other way to say it in more flowery officialese without being too convoluted.
I hereby issue and

Note from asker:
| Thank you Altogringo. That is exactly what it is and it is pretty standard. Except I had never before come across the term "SO" in this context. |
| Also reading your explanation, it just occurred to me that what the Notary Public is saying is that she/he had the original from her book in front of him/her, as in "HAVING THE ORIGINAL INSTRUMENT BEFORE ME, from page...." Only that I don't like adding content and that is what this would be.... |

"So" is the preposition on.

On before the judge is the same as on before the notary. :)

: Surely the art of translation requires that you translate into natural-sounding English? What you have suggested is unintelligble, sorry

You should have checked it out.

spanruss
: The "On before" phrase you searched always has a blank space between those words. This is intended for entry of a date. Two prepositions in a row don't work in English.

There is no context before, and I can see that it means that this notary public had his/her notary book in front.
