Es muy extraño decir "acta al margen". Acta es partida/certificado (certificate), pero según el contexto podría ser una simple nota/anotación.

minutes in the margin
"Acta" is usually "minutes" or "report", and the literal translation seems fine to me. No doubt certain colleagues will soon pooh-pooh my suggestion though....

: Pooh-pooh :-) Sorry, but to me 'minutes' means a meeting record.

Me to, but "acta" is an odd choice if they just mean "note", which makes more sense....

certificate annotated (record referred to) in the margin
'It is a divorce certificate of dissolution of marriage': would be useful to know what Spanish source term, unless acta, is thus translated by the asker.
Acta de Disolución : namely the Record of Dissolution of said marriage.
acta : 1. minutes 2. certificate and 3. proceedings, West.
Acta de Disolución : namely the Record of Dissolution of said marriage.
acta : 1. minutes 2. certificate and 3. proceedings, West.
Example sentence:
E&W: Unless the specific "divorce paperwork" says Notice of Entry of Judgment, you aren't divorced. There is an entire process:

Pareciera ser simplemente: Nota al margen del acta = Nota al margen / Nota marginal / Anotación marginal.
I found this https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F1429?l...

It shall be positioned on the side, in the margin, of the civil status document.
It indicates, among other things, the nature, date and place of the event (birth, marriage, death, etc.) which is mentioned.
