Explanation:
I praktisk, juridisk og vanlig språkbruk er det innarbeidet termen "bekrefte". Attestere er lite brukt nå for tiden når det gjelder å bekrefte underskrifter.

Attestere og attestant kan imidlertid brukes innen regnskap, man attesterer fakturaer, og den som gjør det kalles tidvis attestant.

På kontrakter eller skjøter blir underskriftene eventuelt "bekreftet", ikke attestert.

Det norske språket innendfor dette området har blitt sterkt modernisert de siste 20 årene.
