Portuguese term or phrase: Notário do 1º Ofício
Appears as a heading on a Brazilian birth certificate across from Registro Civil [Civil Registry].

I am inclined to translate it as "Notary of the 1st Office", but what exactly is this designation? Is it an honorary title? What specifically does "1st Office" refer to in this context?

I understand the position was once handed down from father to son, so I'm trying to understand how to think of the title today.
