I am translating a power of attorney from Michoacan, Mexico but the whole package has a sort of "cover page" with the info of the notary public who signed the power of attorney:
Notaria Pública [#]
Lic. [Name of notary public]
TITULAR
[Address + phone number + email address]
I don't fully understand what TITULAR means in Spanish in this context. I found other kudoz entries that suggest "Incumbent" or "Holder" but I am not sure this actually fits here.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Incumbent [Notary]
Yes, "incumbent" (or more accurately "incumbent notary") works here because it's referring to the notary whose "notaría" this is (assuming you've accidentally left out the accent in "Notaría Pública" the context you've given above).

In response to Phil's comment on Neil's reference, in Mexico at least, "head" or "principal" would make no sense in this case because there is only one notary per "notaría". It'd be like saying "head president" of a country.

: I might just use HOLDER as it's a cover page.

Right... I was going to place [Title] in brackets, but I didn´t want to confuse the asker. Thank you for your comment Neil.

There have been several related queries in proz over the years... Like the one in the link, with the solution from a much missed fellow prozer.

: Though I prefer the other answers, like "head" or "principal". I don't think "incumbent" conveys a clear meaning.

: Henry had it right. And Phil's comment is made from a misconception because there is only one notary in each "notaría" in Mexico. It'd be like calling someone a "head president".
