Hi, I am translating a Brazilian birth certificate.
In the observations section it is written: "À margem do assento constam elementos de vide verso".

How can I translate this sentence in English?

Thanks

in the margin of the entry (there) is a reference to points shown on the back


Explanation:
It's *in* the margin, assento means a (registered) entry but query constar used intransitively: be on record or bear witness to, rather than contain transitively.

Note otherwise 'shown on the obverde vs. reverse'.

In descending order of CL / confidence level: 4-3-2, regardless of degree of accuracy.

On/In the margin of this document there are sections pointing to the reverse


Explanation:
verso: O lado oposto ao da frente (ger. de uma folha de papel). (Aulete)

reverse: the opposite side or face to the observer; a left-hand page of an open book, or the back of a loose document. Sin. reverse side; back etc. (Oxford Language Dictionary)

element: a part or aspect of something abstract, especially one that is essential or characteristic. Similar to: component
constituent, part, section, portion, piece, segment. (O.L.D.) Please note: I would say that "element" also applies to something concrete, which is the case here.

As far as preposition usage, apparently, there is a difference between the UK and the US. Two discussion threads on WordReference reach different conclusions:
on the margin: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/in-the-margin-of-the...
in the margin: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/in-on-at-the-margin....

I ran a couple of Google searches and they retrieved a number of results that are statistically similar:

in the margin of the page: 600K
https://www.google.com/search?q="in the margin of the page"

on the margin of the page: 571K
https://www.google.com/search?q="on the margin of the page"

Apparently:
"on the margin" in the US.
"in the margin" in the UK.

Since the context does not specify the language variant, I included both prepositions in my answer. Pick one!

Explanation:
The other suggestions seem rather literal and don’t sound natural to me in English. In addition, I have never heard the word overleaf in my life.
