Dressé le + date

Non-PRO French to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs Birth Certificate
I do not know how to translate this as I am unsure on the exact meaning here. Does it mean "set up on this date"? It appears after a description of the new baby's (and parent's) particulars:

"Dressé le 20 avril 2015 a 9 heures 15 minutes sur la declaration du pere, qui, lecture faite et invite a lire l’acte, a signe avec Nous, ..."

Apr 27, 2015 13:05: mchd changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Nikki Scott-Despaigne, AllegroTrans, mchd

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

same meaning as "rédigé le..."
Peer comment(s):

neutral Nikki Scott-Despaigne : Standard legalese dictates "draw up" be used here.// For preliminary versions of a document which are likely to be modified, then "draft" would work."Draft" is often used, erroneously, for "draw up". A draftsman is a person who draws up documents.

neutral AllegroTrans : might be OK for a "draft" but the source text suggests this is a final document
