Habilitado

Habilitado is Spanish for "enabled". HABILITADO or Habilitado is handstamped or printed on stamps of Spanish-speaking countries, used on obsolete issues to make them usable again. So, they can considered provisional issues.

These may be surcharges with new values, or not. Postage stamps and revenues may also be re-used for other purposes as the overprint may specify.
