Record Book
Explanation:
In Morocco, a notary public has to keep Record Books where he/she records details of acts, deeds and ALL transactions INSTANTLY. Every Record Book should have a serial number, 01, 02 etc.... Every entry in the Record Book bears a number as well i.e, O1, 02 etc... but a Record Book cannot, by law, exceed 200 pages. Record Books have specifications that are clearly and precisely defined by the relevant regulations.
Traditionally, the Record Book used to be called كناش الجيب; it is called مذكرة الحفظ today.
In the document you are translating, 23 refers to the serial number of the Record Book, 55 to the serial number of the act/transaction while 146 refers to the page number.

It is a massive book where the notary public records/writes down every single detail of every notarial act INSTANTLY. It has specific specifications in terms of size and strict regulations related to use. Documents provided by clients are mentioned and referenced in the Record Book but are kept separately and safely in the notary public's office as he/she carries around the Record Book wherever they go for work.

Asker: Thank you for your help. In essence, all these answers are similar in general meaning, and it is all a similar idea, that of preserving records.

Asker: Thank you Saeed. So it sounds like it is not a folder or portfolio, but rather a book where things are written down? Or maybe also it can contain documents?

Asker: Thank you for your time, this is so helpful!!
