ordinary bachelor's degree

My comment:

In Harper Collins Unabridged Spanish English Dictionary: En algunas ocasiones se puede obtener un "ordinary degree," por ejemplo en el caso de que no se aprueban los examenes para obtener el titulo pero los examinadores consideren que a lo largo de la carrera se han tenido unos resultados minimos satisfactorios.

Just "ordinary degree," because in this case it seems that they haven't received the degree.

My comment:

Not enough context. "Licenciatura" is roughly a bachelor's degree (university), but in Mexico, attorneys are often called "Licenciado". If the document is talking about an attorney, it would be a "general attorney" (not a specialized one).

I agree with this comment. In Mexico, the Licenciatura is conferred after a five year University program in such fields as Liberal Arts, Law and some others. Some fields have other designations. Ing. for Engineer, etc. Check the document for context. For example, in Mexico, a Notary Public is always an Attorney, therefore, "attorney" would be fine. I have not seen "común" used with Lic. If the document does not mention legal representation, a trust, etc., just use the term without translating it. It could be an attorney or just someone with the university degree.
