Hello everybody,

I am translating a marriage license into Spanish and I am thinking about the proper translation of "BY MINISTER" It's a stand along phrase "BY MINISTER (SO AND SO)" referring to the minister who performed the ceremony. I reviewed dozens of birth certificates and I couldn't find anything. My attempts (which I think are kind of stilted) are the following:

"SERVICIO PRESTADO POR EL MINISTERO(FULANO DE TAL)"

"CEREMONIA PRESTADA POR EL MINISTRO(FULANO DE TAL)"

or just

"POR EL MINISTRO (FULANO DE TAL)"

I really don't like any of them, lol.

Any suggestions?

Rich
