Spanish term

DECANATO (del Ilustre Colegio Notarial de Madrid)

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Law: Contract(s)
From a document in Spain, A title:

ILUSTRE COLEGIO NOTARIAL DE MADRID
***DECANATO***

And later

NOMBRE
Firma delegada del Decano

I understand that a "Colegio" in this sense is more of an official association or organization to which the Notaries belong, not a school of any type. But can you still use "Dean" or "Dean's Office"?

Office of the President of the Notaries Association of Madrid

This has come up before on Proz. The head of a professional organization is generally called a "President". The "Decanato" could thus be rendered appropriately as "Office of the President"

NOMBRE, firma delegada del Decano = NAME, signing on behalf of the President

Here are US, UK, Australian and Canadian websites in which indicate that the head of an association of notaries (Colegio Notarial) is called a "president" (rather than a "dean") taken from a previous Kudoz question:

Deanery (of the Illustrious College of Notaries of Madrid)

I prefer my version:

Deanery of the Illustrious Notary College of Madrid.

Hope it helps!
Peer comment(s):

agree Billh : I do too. Dean is extremely common in English for Spain, Holland, Belgium and a host of other countries.// no deanery is the dean's office http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/deanery

Thanks so much! Besides, it's wrong. Dean applies to the Chief (so to speak) and not to the entire body or deanery.
