I am translating a birth certificate from Spanish into English. The person signing the certificate uses the initials Br before his name. Can someone tell me the meaning of these initials?
Thanks a lot to all.

It depends on the country the certificate comes from.
"Br." appears to be a short form of "Bachiller".

: Br es bachiller, pero no significa undergraduate student; sencillamente significa que finalizó sus estudios de bachillerato

Por eso lo del país, Yvonne. En Uruguay, cuando alguien escribe Br. XXX, se entiende que es un estudiante universitario que aún no se ha recibido, salvo en la Facultad de Química, donde es un título intermedio que se otorga al culminar el ciclo básico.
