Spanish term or phrase: Le corresponde por aplicación de su ley personal conforme documento acreditativo
Hello,

I am translating a full birth certificate (Spain), and on the left margin there is this note, where the name of the baby is "supplemented" (in the certificate is called ETHAN, and in the margin note it is stated that his name is ETHAN LUCAS).

"Se practica esta inscripción en virtud de comparecencia efectuada por el representante legal del inscrito, ante el Registro Civil de XXX, el día xxxx, en acta número xxxx. Se acredita la nacionalidad xxxx del inscrito y que el nombre será en lo sucesivo xxxxx. Le corresponde por aplicación de su ley personal conforme documento acreditativo del [fecha]".

What does this "ley personal" refer to? Any ideas.

Thank you so much for your help.

Explanation:
As María's reference above makes clear, "personal law" refers to the law applicable to an individual because of their nationality. In this case, it appears to relate to how a person's name was registered in their own country.

I would suggest merging this sentence with the previous one, so you will have:

"Proof was provided that the registrant's nationality is XXXX and that his name is XXXX, in accordance with the personal law applicable to him, as evidenced by the supporting documentation dated XXXX".

It corresponds to him pursuant to his personal law enforcement as per the proof document


Explanation:
«El nombre y apellidos de un extranjero se rigen por su ley personal», partiendo para su formulación del principio vigente de que la nacionalidad es factor determinante del estatuto personal, y, por tanto, las normas generales de conflicto remiten a la ley personal del interesado, determinada por la nacionalidad, para regular el nombre civil, considerado incluido dentro de la noción amplia de estado civil, conforme a lo previsto con carácter general en el artículo 9, 1.°, del C. c., que determina: «La ley personal correspondiente a las personas físicas es la determinada por su nacionalidad. Dicha ley regirá la capacidad y el estado civil, los derechos y deberes de familia y la sucesión por causa de muerte. El cambio de la ley personal no afectará a la mayoría de edad adquirida de conformidad con la ley personal anterior.»

Personal status is a concept indicating that an individual is subject to a personal law under local law and not the ordinary law.
