What is an exception to personal appearance by the principal?

  1. Notarization through email confirmation

  2. Verification via phone call

  3. Subscribing witness

  4. Self-attestation

The correct answer is: Subscribing witness

An exception to personal appearance by the principal is in the form of a "subscribing witness." This means that the principal's signature can be witnessed and signed by someone else in their presence. This option is different from notarization through email confirmation or verification via phone call, as those do not require a physical presence of the principal. Self-attestation, on the other hand, refers to the principal signing and confirming the validity of the document themselves, which is not an exception to personal appearance.
