stamp duty fee paid / stamp duty had been paid
It is a text over the fee stamp/stap duty
Stamp duty is a tax that is levied on documents. Historically, this included the majority of legal documents such as cheques, receipts, military commissions, marriage licences and land transactions. A physical stamp (a revenue stamp) had to be attached to or impressed upon the document to denote that stamp duty had been paid before the document was legally effective. More modern versions of the tax no longer require an actual stamp.
Sometimes it is 'stamp duty payable' and the stamp just affixed

I do apostille and legalization daily. Légalisation de documents français | service-public.fr
https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/.../F1400 - the stamp might be not clear :)

: I was going to ask the same question as B D Finch; I hadn't realised you were reading it as a typo, but it does fit and I think you're probably right.

Sorry, it happens so often because, the ladies do not press the stamp hardly - I just forgot to add an explanation, because I am working at the moment.

: an "L" MUST be missing // the link is https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F1400 // I still remember buying the most literal "tax stamps" and sticking them to all sort of official documents ...

Comment: "I had not considered that an L was missing and when I look at the stamp the word 'egalisation' is printed so clear it is hard to believe. But I like the translation of 'stamp duty' so thankyou"
