contract
I have this in a real estate contract from Spain, in 2004:
Los comparecientes declaran que no pueden aportar referencia catastral, autorizándome a hacer constar, mediante diligencia, la información que sobre el particular reciba de los propios otorgantes o del Catastro.
What does the notary want to say?

by means of an additional notarial act
There can be little doubt that "diligencia" is near the top of the list of Spanish words most hated by translators. This is mainly because it is given so many different meanings. In this case one has to note that the words are those of the notary, and what he is saying is that he will add the information to the public deed he is issuing by means of a "diligencia" once it has been received. Those of you who like me eke a living out of translating Spanish deeds will know that often the deed will end with a page addded subsequently headed "DILIGENCIA". So how is it to be translated? I truly hope someone can come up with an authoritative answer, but I have got away with translating it as "additional procedure or notarial act" because that is what it is.

The notarial glossary entry posted below clearly states that a notarial "diligencia" is an addition to a preexisting document. Note also the use of "constar" as in the asker's source text.
diligencia f. Acta donde consta la forma y circunstancias en que se ejecuta un acuerdo o decisión judicial. Asímismo, hay diligencias notariales, en las que se hace constar en un documento ya preexistente una actuación posterior en el tiempo.

Adrian MM.
: An authoritative answer has already been supplied on this site by a one-time ProZ City of London, *Scrivener-Linguist* Notary Public & ECJ translator: 'action taken' or 'record made' at the end of a notarial instrument/deed, but doesn't fit this context.

: Truly the right approach here. I am just collecting some references to post them together later. Surprising what others think about this Kudoz query...

Diego Valencia
: This approach makes most sense. The audience, ES realestate, is most important. The authorship being an ES notarial agent is most significant.

Diligencia f.
Acta donde consta la forma y circunstancias en que se ejecuta un acuerdo o decisión judicial. Asímismo, hay diligencias notariales, en las que se hace constar en un documento ya preexistente una ACTUACIÓN POSTERIOR en el tiempo.
Ejemplo. Se otorga un acta notarial por la que se solicita del notario que haga un requerimiento a una persona. El notario lo hace al día siguiente de la fecha del acta. Esta actuación se refleja en el acta a continuación, por medio de una diligencia con la firma del notario.
Hope to post some other references, but later...

“Upon my own inquiry” or “upon my own search efforts”
Diligencia, literally means the Notary’s own undertaking.
This approach is a wrong interpretation too. I recommend reading the official definition of the query term “diligencia” applicable to this specific case, namely, when there is already a deed and something additional is added, for whatever reason, to the original notarial document.
