Spanish term

Es todo lo que tiene que decir, es por eso que pone conocimiento a esta autorida

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Mexican variant to US English. I am translating an affidavit, of sorts, which is a request to give temporary custody of a child to a grandmother for travel to the U.S. to undergo a medical procedure. I am not super-experienced with legal documents. The phrase seems simple enough, but I'm having a heck of a time wording it in English without the translation sounding stupid. The phrase comes at the closing of the document, "Es todo lo que tiene que decir, es por eso que pone conocimiento a esta autoridad de ciertos hechos." Any help with a natural-sounding legalese phrase in English would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

In that case, go with AT's rendering and np

We've got an interesting 1 here and the bottom line is that you as asker have the final word
Wyman Borts Jr (asker) May 30, 2019:
Wow, I'm glad this has created so much discussion! But to clear things up: the register is very formal. I said "of sorts" because there is no title on the document. I'm just calling it an affidavit as a general term for a notarized statement. The "appearing parties" signing the document are the maternal and paternal grandmothers. It is concerning the child but these two parties are the ones that are saying "FYI and that's all folks" in my colloquial paraphrasing.
David Hollywood May 30, 2019:
agree with Allegrotrans on formal wording but the "of sorts" would indicate a less formal register...

I am translating an affidavit, of sorts,
David Hollywood May 30, 2019:
might be ok to go with a colloquial rendering...
David Hollywood May 30, 2019:
the question regarding the register is moot... asker says "of sorts" so this aspect has to be considered

This is all that he wishes to state, in order to inform this authority of certain matters

Not rteally possible to translate this literally, it needs to have a "legalese" ring to it
Note from asker:
No kidding! I'm all for plain language; e.g., "Just FYI. That's all folks!"

this effect/such effect (better in legalese)

should read "of certain facts"

was a bit of a mouthful so there we have the full translation
Note from asker:
Thanks David. Your answer comes in a close second to my selected answer. In fact my final translation had an element or two that I took from yours. But I had to pick one as the most helpful. Thanks again!

neutral AllegroTrans : Right idea but not formal enough for an affidavit or whatever this is

This child has no more to say, reason for which he/she draws the attention this authority to become

Not very sure, but, could be another option.
HTH!

He rests his case having stated to the authorities all there is to say in the matter.

I like Allegro's translation too!
Note from asker:
Thank you for your contribution Meridy!
Peer comment(s):
disagree AllegroTrans : "Rests his case" is suggesting there is some serious dispute going on in a court; this is over-translation
