Or maybe "entry no. 1".

Charles Davis Jun 20, 2019:

I would be tempted to be even more radical than Phil, for once, and not translate it at all: just put "no. 1". After all, as Taña reference shows, it simply indicates the number of an entry in a section of the register, in a sequence of consecutive numbers from 1 to X. But that's how entry numbers always work; you start with no. 1 and continue with 2, 3, 4 etc. It's redundant.

Maybe it means "file number"?

Maria Kisic Jun 20, 2019:

Maybe as in folio consecutivo /documento siguiente?

philgoddard Jun 20, 2019:

Reference number.

Charles Davis Jun 20, 2019:

It's consecutivo all right, but how do you translate it? It seems to mean just "number in sequence".

John: You go ahead. I can't break what I am doing to check other sources. Please ...

Seems likely. As an answer? (I don't know what else could be)

Taña Dalglish Jun 20, 2019:

Is it similar to this? This tells me it is "consecutivo" (No. consecutivo). See page 9 (PDF) for example.
