So what is the word to describe this event? Like I need to find someone who is unrelated to me and then I sign a statement (for a certain pupose) in front of him/her in order to let him/her to proof that is my real signature. so I can bring this statement to another person.
What this event/action call?
What's the SOMEONE UNRELATED TO ME call?
Either a noun or verb is fine.Thanks very much

I think what you're looking for is notarization. A Notary Public is usually licensed by the state to legally witness documents. There may be a fee for the service. You can find a notary in most banks, I think.
If you just have a document witnessed by just anyone, depending upon the importance of the document, it might not be as legally binding.

A notary public is an officer who can administer oaths and statutory declarations, witness and authenticate documents and perform certain other acts varying from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Generally speaking, a notary public in the United States of America has powers that are far more limited than the role of a civil law notary in the rest of the world, with the exception of Louisiana. For the purposes of authentication, most countries require commercial or personal documents which originate from or are signed in another country to be notarized before they can be used or officially recorded or before they can have any legal effect.
Next time google it.

It is called have the document Notarized. It is a legal term and in order for it to be legal, the witness must BE an actual notary public.

you're turning out to be them sign a sworn assertion (the call of the particularly criminal checklist), although i'm not sure if that's what you're finding for on your question.... somebody unrelated to you would be called a witness, or while you're in seek of somebody to certify the signature is yours you may use a Notory (Notory Public, to be superb). stable success!

i think they probably mean a notary. It is someone who comes to wherever you are and witnesses your signature.
