Danish term or phrase: Det følger i øvrigt af sig selv, at...
This phrase appears in some 19th-century royal decrees concerning the proper maintenance of various records associated with the church registers. I initially translated it simply as: "It naturally follows, that..." However, an acquaintance has suggested: "It is also self-evident that..." Can someone suggest a more appropriate rendering in English? Thanks in advance!

English translation:As a natural consequence ...
Explanation:
Is one possibility.

Your own ´It naturally follows that... ´
which is fine.

It depends a little on the register, and there are numerous ways of translating this.

I might ignore the ´iøvrigt´ here - ´it is self-evident that...´ if you wanted to use that expression.

So quite obviously...
