What is it called when a subscribing witness brings a document for notarization?

  1. Certification of fact

  2. Proof of execution

  3. Acknowledgment of duty

  4. Verification of signature

The correct answer is: Proof of execution

This is often referred to as "Proof of Execution". This option is correct because subscribing witnesses are typically involved when legal documents need to be notarized and they are usually present to verify the signing of the document by the individual in question. The other options, "Certification of fact", "Acknowledgement of duty", and "Verification of signature" do not accurately describe the role of a subscribing witness in the notarization process.
