Spanish term or phrase: ABÓG abbreviation
Can someone help me understand the English equivalent of the ABÓG abbreviation in Spanish? I see it referring to a civil registrar in an alcaldía on an official copy of a birth certificate from Venezuela. It looks like it would mean "abogada" but I'm not seeing that as a recognized abbreviation for "lawyer". I see Abg. Thanks for helping!

Explanation:
Whilst Wilsonn's answer is "localized" (e.g. to USA), "lawyer" will work as a non-country specific term

A lawyer is a person who practices law. The role of a lawyer varies greatly across different legal jurisdictions.

agree  Jennifer Levey: In Asker's context it clearly refers to a 'lawyer', but most likely not to an 'attorney at law' - see: https://therivaslawgroup.com/cual-es-la-diferencia-entre-law...

  -> Thank you, and yes, we simply don't know exactly which "breed" of lawyer this is, so a neutral and encompassing term is appropriate
