I arrived at XXXXX where XXXX appeared before me.


Explanation:
Quoting Javoer F. Becerra: "Constituir......to arrive at and proceed to call upon, to be found; a word of art with no prceise English equivalent used in court records and certifications prepared by a secretario actuario (court clerk); the word signifies that legal proceedings that were conducted outside of the courtroom commenced upon the court clerk's arrival at the designated location and requested to meet with the person named in the coiurt order........"
By definition, when an oficer of the court shows up to conduct official business somewhere, he/she is already there on an official capacity. I do not believe that there is a need to specify that he was there to conduct an official visit.
