Spanish term

calidad que acredito

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
The document is a complaint filed with the Ecuadoran Prosecutor General. The complainant gives his title, followed by "calidad que la acredito con la copia certificada de [X documento] ... ."
I understand that the certified copy of X establishes that he indeed holds said position and can act in that capacity, but I'm wondering what the standard (and hopefully elegant) rendering is in U.S. legal documents.

Thanks!

Just another option...
I always turn around the order of the phrase when translating this standard phrase so it goes along these lines:

As it results from the duly certified copy of (document), the undersigned is acting in his/her capacity as.....
or I am acting in my capacity as...
and so on...
Obviously, the gender and number of the person depends on your original copy.
