Check my 3rd example. You can work out something like:
"We do hereby make known and certify that..."
These are set expressions, so I think what you need to translate is the meaning, more than the form.

Note from asker:
| The only problem is: how do you work the necessary (1st person plural) pronoun into the translation (without it sounding very unnatural)? What do you think about a combination of your translation and Carla's (beginning with "let it be known")? Muito obrigado :-) |
