Certifico que la reproduccion es copia fiel....Se expide la presente para ser presentada ante quien corresponda, sin que ello implique juzgar sobre el contenido y forma de la documentación exhibida al efecto: Conste.

Podrá ser en este caso BE IT KNOWN?

I attest


Explanation:
Given that fact that there is a signature under Conste and considering that Conste refers to the first person, in singular and subjective present in Spanish, then the right way of rendering that in English: I attest.

PS anecdotally, half a century ago - on doing one of my first freelance Spanish into Engish translations - I asked my novia canaria what it meant and she replied: 'Si, quiere decir, que conste. Asi es. Pura y sencillamente!'. So there we have it - a knowledgeable reply!

agree  Toni Castano: Possible too, but I prefer my "(And) for the record" (keeping it simple but precise!). See below. // Love your anecdotes, you know, but this time I did not pay attention to it. My bad :-( Now I have read it. Yes, Adrian, a novia certainly deserves trust!

(And) for the record


Explanation:
"(And) for the record" is the translation I usually come across in the many certificates I have seen over the last years. "Conste" is unusual in Spain. I assume it is just the short form for "Y para que así conste.".
