The witness confirms the signature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The role of the witness is to confirm that the signatures on a document are real<\/strong> and not forged. This means that the signatures were put on the document by the people indicated, or that they acknowledged the signatures as their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other forms of attestation in Hungary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using two witnesses to confirm the credibility of a document is the easiest and most common form of attestation. In some cases, however, \u201cstronger\u201d forms of attestation<\/strong> are required. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
