§ 1413 Document Authentication Witnesses

• •If someone sees a document being signed, they can confirm it's real.
• •This person is called a witness, and they can say, 'Yes, I saw them sign it.'
• •This helps prove the document is not fake.

You sign a lease for an apartment, and your friend watches you sign it.

Your friend can later tell a judge, 'Yes, I saw them sign the lease.' This proves the lease is real and not forged.
