I think that pretty much hit it spot on. The other suggestions were along the same line. But I can only select one winner. Obviously this system was designed with game oriented kids in mind :-)

disagree  Steve Smith: You can't "make an exempt" in English. Either "exception" or "reservation" would be better.

to ammend, to correct


Explanation:
The correct verb form is "ressalvar" and from your sentence it means that some mistake or erasure was corrected, most probably a misspelled name.

I hope it helps.

Correction/endorsement (with signature)


Explanation:
RESSALVAR(E) must be a typo, it does not exist in portuguese with the (E).
Normally in English, one does not say anything, just sign below the correction (rasura). JUST sign the correction, or say: "correction - signed".


    Even cheques (money) can be corrected this way.

Verb not noum


Explanation:
Unless there was a typo (there was one already in the title) RESSALVO here is clearly 1st person (I) of the Present Ind. of the verb; it is uncommom to use "ressalvo" as a noum.
Therefore, "with exception of"... - a noum instead of a verb - becomes a "free translation" which is not acceptable for legal documents which should be translated "ad verbo".
"Ressalvo a rasura acima" significa - eu endosso/corrijo a rasura acima com minha assinatura.
