Attest is a legal term that refers to the act of a person swearing to or affirming the truth of something. Attestation may be made by bearing witness to the execution of a document by signing one's signature to the document. All states require at least two witnesses to attest that a will was signed and declared to be a will. There is an exception in some states for a will written in one's own handwriting. Attest means to certify a document by signature or oath, as in an official capacity.

∙ 12y agoIf I am not mistaken, attest is a word (avow) that people prefer to use rather than saying I "swear". I have seen a lot of court shows where they put their hand on The Bible and the judge says "do you attest that the testimony,etc..." is the truth...

How do you get a document notarized for someone else in Georgia?
If by "notarized" you mean taking an acknowledgment such as on a deed or mortgage or administering an oath such as on an affidavit, you cannot get it done for another person because the notary is required to personally witness the signing. If by "notarized" you mean simply attesting to the validity of a signature, you can get it done for another person, because that type of notarial act may be done based on the notary's personal knowledge or other satisfactory proof of the person's signature. For example if a notary is attesting to a signature and personally knows the person's signature, the notary may attest to the signature but may not complete an acknowledgment that the person signed it in his/her presence.
