Hola:
Se trata de un doc de convalidación de título y empieza con la frase "Visto el escrito" (petición de convalidación). ¿Sería correcto traducirlo como "in view of the petition"?
Muchas gracias.

having read the petition
If petition is what best fits "escrito" in your case, OK. Although "in view of" is close, "having read" or "having considered" is closer to the sense of "visto."

: "application" would be a safer bet, a "petition" is usually signed by between 2 and many thousands of people
