à telle fin de droit valoir à la requérante

Is that this a 'general' phrase albeit in a legal document, evidenced by the fact that it's about information that a party may (or may not) wish to use. That’s why I agree with Eliza's 9 word suggestion.

Well, my proposed translation only uses 9 words, so I think we're good :)

But that said, sometimes "being legalistic" makes your client win or avoid a lawsuit, while "not being legalistic" has the opposite effect. There's a reason lawyers do what we do. Words that may seem superfluous, archaic or needlessly formal from a "plain English" perspective may have a specific meaning within the law that makes an important difference to the client's bottom line.

Also, with respect to your comment that "For 'such purpose' is hardly 'legal'. The purpose has to be 'lawful' (goes without saying)" -- the words legal or lawful are not translating "such purpose/telle fin," they're translating "de droit." And as you can see from the fact that the original French says "de droit," it doesn't go without saying. The original text says it, and we're translators, not editors.

but very general. No need to be legalistic or to use 20 word when 10 will suffice

Why get legal? Because it's a legal document. They're written in legalese, not normal English or normal French.

For "such purpose" is hardly "legal". The purpose has to be"lawful" (goes without saying) and anyway it's "for his/her information" so why get legalistic about such a general and wide-ranging phrase?

Looks like a variation on a theme, albeit with non-legal force:

Though the focus of the comments below is on 'à telle fin' - ce que de droit or fin de droit is notarial-speak for such purpose as is appropriate.

For such purpose. End of. Cannot see Daryo's problem.

I don't think it can only be used for a specific, previously stated purpose. "Telle" means "such," but as in English legalese, it doesn't have to refer to anything previously stated, or to anything specific. "The leasehold premises may be utilized for such lawful purpose as tenant may choose," for instance, has no prior referent: it just means any lawful purpose.

And that interpretation is supported by the text itself: why does "telle" match "fin" in gender and number? Because it's modifying "fin," not some previously stated word. It means "such purpose" (or such end, such goal, etc.).

this document (certificate of some kind?) can be used only for some specific previously stated purpose.

But I have seen too many cases where something apparently "obvious" gets turned on its head once more context is available to rush to any conclusions.

"To such end" or "to such purpose."

so "telle" is NOT part of some standard formulation - without knowing to what "telle" refers we can only play at shooting in the dark - not the best way to hit the target.
