I understand the general meaning of the term, but the structure of the sentence is confusing me:
En México, Distrito Federal, el día ventidós de mayo del dos mil siete, ante mí, Licenciado XXXX, Titular de la Notaria Público Número Ciento Veintesiete del Distrito Federal ***en ejercicio***, hago constar LA CONSTITUCION de la sociedad mercantile denominada …. Etc.

acting [such and such]
I have it down as "acting" in my Univ. glossary. Apart from other uses, such as for "interino, sub-something or other" it is also used to express "en ejercicio", "en funciones".
So your sentence would go like this: I, XXXX, B.A., acting Senior Officer of the Public Notary's Office Nr. ........of the Federal District, hereby ....etc.
Licenciado is a degree equivalent to B.A., it is not "license". And the number in your source text is the number corresponding to the Public Notary Office.

acting in such capacity
...ante mí, Licenciado XXXX, Titular de la Notaria Público Número Ciento Veintesiete del Distrito Federal en ejercicio =
...before me, XXXX, Attorney, Incumbent at Notary Public Office Number One hundred Twenty-Seven of the Federal District, acting in such capacity
This seems like a repetition of another answer, however I am giving this one to correct numerous errors in what surrounds the term there, and also to add "in such capacity", to avoid the appearance that he may be a substitute, which does happen. He is not a "senior officer", he is the Incumbent Notary, the only one. He is an Attorney, not a "BA", all Notaries in Mexico are attorneys and must have other special knowledge beyond that, plus good "connections".
In many cases I would just say "acting", but the way it is written here somehing else is needed to make it coherent.
