English translation:Statement on [legal status for] performance of duties
Explanation:
I think this requires an explanatory translation such as the one I have provided...

The board is stating that there are no legal black marks against it that would hamper, hinder or prohibit it from performance of its duties.

Boards of directors in NA do not generally make statements such as these nor are they required to by law...

alternative: statement of non-existence of legal obstacles to performance of duties

Declaração de desimpedimento
Declaration of non-impediment


Explanation:
(Or "statement".) Even though this may be "imported En", it has enough currency to be considered; and, after all, this is happening in a non En speaking country. I believe it is best to stay close to the original wording.

As to this not happening in good countries, well, "affirmations" and oaths of various kinds are required in the USA in many situations, far more often than most everywhere else, including in a mere application for vehicle registration and, yes, often when applying for or accepting jobs, both public and private. One swears to the accuracy of a translation and, at least some years back anyone teaching in a public school or university in the State of New York was compelled to sign ... well, not a thinly disguised loyalty oath, but a BlatanT pre-worded loyalty oath. Compared with that, having to state that you are not legally barred from accepting a highly responsible position, say, that you are not a crook, is child's play.

Or Affidavit. Regardless of "of what", Affidavit is more accurate than either "Declaration" or "Statement".

As to "impediment", it is current and official in the case of impediments to marriage (plenty of good evidence via Google). This is the same idea in a different, and not native, context; so, unless another non-circumloquial translation for this "foreign concept" has established itself, I see no reason to avoid the literal (and safe) translation.
