Law/Patents - Law (general) / Police report regarding a death
Catalan term or phrase: I signifiquen
On the last page of a police report by the Mossos d'Esquadra to report a death it says

"I SIGNIFIQUEN:
Que s'adjunta còpia d'aquestes diligències per al Ministeri Fiscal"

I have translated this as

"ACCORDINGLY:
- A copy of this report has been sent to the Ministry of the Interior"

Does that sound right in legal terminology or is there a standard alternative?

And (hereby) declare
Explanation:
"Significar" means "declare" so I'd suggest "And declare" or "And hereby declare". You might need to modify it slightly for continuity depending on the syntax in the preceding section(s). HTH.
