I think, in this context, "legitimar" refers to an official certifying that the document is true (or that a signature belongs to the person in the document or something of that nature). Therefore, I like your initial suggestion.

"La nota de Visto y legitimado, con la fecha y todos los elementos de autorización notariales puestas al pie de cualquier documento oficial, o expedido por funcionario público en el ejercicio de su cargo es testimonio de que el notario considera como auténticas, por conocimiento directo o identidad con otras indubitadas, las firmas de los funcionarios autorizantes, y hallarse éstos, según sus noticias, en el ejercicio de sus cargos a la fecha del documento".
