A Certificate of Proof of Execution is a sworn statement by subscribing witnesses of a contract. It verifies two things:
They were present at the signing of a legal document
The legal document was properly executed
Typically, documents that require proof of execution will include a section for a notary’s acknowledgment.
However, if your document lacks this specific section, you can attach a Certificate of Proof of Execution to the document to serve the same purpose. In this case, witnesses must sign the certificate in front of a notary public or commissioner of oaths.
A Proof of Execution is also known as:
Sworn statement of execution
Notary affirmation
