yolanda Speece: 2:40am Feb 2, 2008: Thank you, Juan Jacob, for pointing out the type-o!.
yolanda Speece: 2:42am Feb 2, 2008: So it would say is authentic and corresponds to the date in use by...?
Juan Jacob: 3:06am Feb 2, 2008: No problem. Sí, significa que es la misma ahora que la que usaba antes.

that used (by X) at that time
Explanation:
My reading:

corresponde a la que a la fecha usa(ba) name title organization
-->
(the signature) corresponds to (is equivalent to, is the same as) that used by (name, title, organization) at that time

Without more context I would assume the document bears the signature of a person or an organization that has subsequently changed their name, and the source text is clarifying that this old signature is valid with respect to the present-day person or organization (and the 'usa(ba)' allows extrapolation of this state of affairs into the future).
