Unfortunately the RAE doesn´t give the legal definition but just something that could be considered similar:

*apostilla.

(De postilla2). 1. f. Acotación que comenta, interpreta o completa un texto.

El poder apostillado is a seal, recognized by all countries, that is put on a document to indicate that the document is real, ie: a marriage certificate from Russia that will be used in Canada for obtaining a visa, but it still has to be translated by a certified translator. Curriously, most people in the legal field don´t know the apostile unless they are involved in international law.

Hello, welcome to the forum! Please use proper capitalization and punctuation in your posts. We are a learning site. Thank you.

Apostillar means something like, "to note" or "to add", in the sense of annotating something.

"Poder" means, to be able to. Poder
