I do not understand the meaning of herewith in this text: Does it mean (a) together with this or (b) by means of this; hereby?

English term (edited):
license of corresponding number herewith
Selected
permiso cuyo número corresponde con el del presente documento
"Herewith" refers to "license of corresponding number", i.e., the number of the license corresponds WITH the number on this certification, hence "herewith".
You may find a neater way to write it, but that's what it means.

By the way, I do agree with Robin's note that there is a comma missing after "herewith".

: No. "el presente" is the marriage certificate, but "hereby" refers to a bit of paperwork that's "attached" to the certificate.

adjunto (a este documento) / por medio del presente documento adjunto
Entiendo que puede ser como "hereby", pero diría que se trata de un adjunto al certificado, mostrando la licencia del pastor u oficiante.
No sé si faltaría una coma después de herewith, pero así lo entiendo yo.
Saludos cordiales.

: Yes - it needs "una coma después de herewith". The document that's "herewith" (adjunto) is the person's "licence/authorisation" to witness the marriage referred to in the body of the certificate.

Muchas gracias, Rebeca. :-) Sí, en castellano, mejor así. Pero en cualquier caso, esa es la idea. :-)

: Hmm, not exactly, John. Herewith refers back to the number of the license, so the number of the license is the same as the one on this document. It's not necessarily attached to it.
