Spanish term or phrase: que copiado al pie de la letra dice así
It is on a birth certificate. Dominican Republic.

It states

Certifico: que en los archivos a mi cargo existe una partida de nacimiento en el libro no. _____ Folio no. ___ Acta no. ______ del año ____ que copiado al pie de la letra dice así: Acta no. ____________

Nombre del inscrito: ________________________________ en ____________(ciudad) a (fecha) por ante mi ___________________...

I am thinking it is: "that a copy by law states".
