marginal annotation

Explanation:
I found these examples:

Rule 12. Effect of approving the petition for change of name. – When the petition for a change of first name is approved by the C/MCR or CG or D/CR and such decision has not been impugned by the CRG, the change shall be reflected in the birth certificate by way of marginal annotation.

In the majority of Contracting States, the entry will be made by means
of a marginal annotation concerning the legitimation on the record of birth ...

However, I'd be happier with confirmation by a native :-)

apostille / marginal note (again!)

Explanation:
Sorry, trying to work this out.
An apostille (I've seen them before) is a stamp (rectangular) on the document containing the info in ref 1:

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
Below are listed the required documents needed to get married in Mexico. You will also need four witnesses (two witnesses each)
Requirements for the Bride and Groom:

Passport and copy of your certified Birth Certificate
Please Note: if you do not have a passport, your Birth Certificate will need an Apostille (click here for a picture of an apostille) by the Secretary of State from which the certificate was registered which will need to be translated into Spanish by a professional translator (we can have it translated here for you). Click here for a list of Countries who work with the "Apostille"

How can I obtain an apostille for my D.C. Birth Certificate?
To obtain an apostille (state seal of authentication) for a D.C. birth certificate, you must request a live signature be affixed on your D.C. birth certificate when purchased from the Vital Records Division.

How do I obtain an apostille for a birth certificate?

An apostille is a specific authenticating certificate that is required by certain countries. In Wisconsin, an apostille is issued by the Office of the Wisconsin Secretary of State. Information on how to obtain an apostille is available on the web site of the Office of the Secretary of State at http://badger.state.wi.us/agencies/sos/authen.htm or by calling (608) 266-5503.

marginal note is a note in the margin, and can be on various matters:

The Chancery Office can also authorize an emendation to the baptismal register of an adopted child who has already been baptized. The original birth certificate, baptismal certificate, and the final court order for the adoption must be submitted to the Chancery, which will authorize the parish in which the child was baptized to make a marginal note that the child had been adopted and has received a new surname. The Chancery keeps records of all such changes.

Correction of errors in birth and death entries
7. Where an error requires to be corrected in an entry in a register of births or deaths kept in Wales, the marginal note specified by regulation 54(1)(e), 55(3), 56(2), 57(3) or (4), 58(2)(b) or 59(2) or (3)(b) (as the case may be) of the principal Regulations shall be entered in English if the error occurs in particulars entered in English and in Welsh if the error occurs in particulars entered in Welsh.

I've also seen this used in connection with sex changes

To sum up, I don't know whether you mean a Hague Convention stamp or just a note in the margin

marginal note

Explanation:
I think I finally found some useful references:

The original birth certificate, baptismal certificate, and the final court order for the adoption must be submitted to the Chancery, which will authorize the parish in which the child was baptized to make a marginal note that the child had been adopted and has received a new surname
http://www.ny-archdiocese.org/pastoral/faq.html

Section 29(3) of BDA 1953 and Regulation 58 of the Registration of Births and Deaths Regulations 1987 (RBDR 1987) allow a superintendent registrar or registrar to amend an error of fact or substance in a birth entry by way of a marginal note
http://www.parliament.ombudsman.org.uk/pca/document/hc892/c6...

Dispensations are usually entered into the record as a marginal note, and the original dispensation document may be kept at the diocese

As regards "apostille", it is used in a very specific sense (although its meaning is indeed marginal note):

Apostille
Is a method of certifying a document for use in another country pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention. With this certification by apostille, a document is entitled to recognition in the country of intended use, and no certification or legalization by the embassy or consulate of the foreign country where the document is to be used is required. With our international package, we include an apostilled copy of the certificate of incorporation for use in your desired country
http://www.bizfilings.com/learning/glossary.htm

An "Apostille" is an official state-issued stamp or attachment to any public or private document that makes the document legal for use in any country that has signed the Hague Convention on Documents
http://www.cibt.com/TravelDocumentsManual/TDM_GlossaryOfTerm...

Apostille
A special form attached to a public document (e.g. Certificate of Good Standing) issued in accordance with the standards of the Le Hague Convention of 1961
http://www.unitrustcapital.com/glossary.html##3

Apostille
A simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents used in countries that participate in a Hague Convention. This simplified form contains numbered fields (which allow the data to be understood by all participating countries regardless of the official language of the issuing country). The completed apostille form certifies the authenticity of the document's signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, and identifies the seal/stamp which the document bears. Documents needed for intercountry adoptions require the attachment of an apostille (rather than authentication forms) if the foreign country participates in the convention
