this office (of a notary public)

Explanation:
Supposing that this is a phrase in a notarial document, I think the first 日 is a part of date (XX年XX月XX日) and not a part of 日本.

The word you should look at here is 本職役場.
本職 means practically "I". Gramatically, it is the first person (第1人称), often used to refer to oneself in a professional setting. 　In this case, 本職 refers to the notary public who is notarizing the document to refer to himself.

役場 is a public office, and in this case it is referring to 公証人役場 (office of a notary public).

本職（の）役場 -> the office of the notary public.
