Japanese term or phrase: 本職に対し
Might 本職に対し mean "in my very presence"
didja
English translation:To me (to me; to this notary public)
Explanation:
It should be referring to a notary public that certifies the document. It is used as a pronoun and means "me" or "myself." Public officials or some sort of professionals sometimes refer to themselves as "本職." It could be written as "本公証人に対し" in this case.

For your reference, "in my very presence" will correspond to "本職の面前で." See the second example, "本職の面前にて."

Explanation:
It could mean "duty" like David says, but it more often refers to the writer him/herself. You have to see it from the context or show it to us.
