Estoy traduciendo unos documentos educativos venezolanos, entre los que se encuentra la copia en fondo negro de un título de bachiller, que tiene la siguiente certificación:
"Quien suscribe, Prof. xxx, titular de la cédula de identidad xxx, Director del Colegio xxx, ubicado en xxx, inscrito en el Ministerio del Poder Popular para la Educación bajo el número xxx, por medio de la presente se hace constar [sic] que los datos transcritos en este documento son ciertos y **dignos de comprobar**."
Nunca había visto esta expresión antes. ¿and may be verified?
Muchísimas gracias por adelantado.

Sí, estás muy cerca con lo de "may be verified", pero creo que es más "fuerte" el término.... dignos de comprobar ( worthy of being verified!!! ufff ) - O sea, Verifiable.
si quieres - "highly verifiable", pero creo que sería muy rimbombante e innecesario.

I totally agree with Mario Madrid with his answer. You can also use what I just suggested. Both of them in my opinion are correct.

The verb "is" or "are" depends on how you have translated the sentence.

Umm! Now that I am looking at this again due to Allegro's comments, I see that I only looked at the words "digno de comprobar," which means literally "worth of being checked." However, now that I am looking at the entire context in detail, it only means, in my opinion "verifiable." (Translated as: ...in this document are true and verifiable.)
Thank you, AllegroTrans for making think a little bit more!

AllegroTrans
: I fail to see where you get this construction from or how this is an alternative to Mario's answer since it has a completely different nuance

Hello, AllegroTrans: Thank you for making me think a little bit more. I now believe there are two meanings of this phrase and it depends on how it is being used. I am interested in knowing why you think Mario's phrase is correct?
