Hello, I am translating a Mexican birth certificate that states the following in Spanish, "A La Foja Numero S/N. Vuelta."
I have seen S/N before, and I believe it means sin numero or without number. I am wondering if the correct translation to English from Spanish would be "without a number on back (or on the reverse)"?
Any help you can provide is appreciated!

[not numbered], verso
It's not an address.
It should read something like "On the reverse of an unnumbered sheet" or "On folio [not numbered], verso".
"Some people may well have the custom of calling "fojas" pages and "folios" folios, but if so it is an arbitrary custom with no logical basis. "Page" is a mistranslation of "foja". "Foja" (an archaic spelling of "hoja") and "folio" are synonyms; the difference is usage is pure convention. A foja is not a page, because fojas are foliated (one number per sheet) not paginated (one number per page or side of the sheet).
…
"Page 34 verso" (verso is the English equivalent of vuelta) is nonsensical; a page doesn't have a reverse side."
