Definition
特此 is a formal written adverb meaning 'hereby', used exclusively in official announcements, certificates, or public notices. It is more specific and formulaic than 由此 ('from this, therefore'), which is broader and can be used in reasoning, and 就此 ('at this point, thus'), which marks a transition in narrative or discussion.
