How can your counselor verify it is legitamate and you did not just get random people to sign their names, due to the ambiguity of AA.

Rick did not understand your question, but I do. I was on probation for drunk driving several years ago and there is no way for them to verify. What I did was go to a couple of AA meetings, then copied the stamps on a color copier and filled up the sheet with them. After that I passed the sheet around work for everyone to sign with different handwritings and colors etc. It Worked! You can also buy a stamper if you can get one that is similar to an AA stamp. Good luck.

Sacramento Aa Meetings

It would be difficult if not impossible to confirm that a signature is legitimate. Moreover, some AA groups decline to provide such signatures, because of AA's traditions, which preclude the fellowship from getting involved in any outside issues.
Your implicit question seems to be whether you can scam the counselor (and therefore the court) by forging signatures. If so, the answer is that you may be able to pull it off, but the consequences of getting caught would probably be severe -- especially considering that court-ordered attendance at AA meetings is usually in place of more punitive measures.
My suggestion is to just go to the meetings, sit in the back, and read the paper. Who knows; you might accidentally even hear something useful. But why risk a more severe punishment just to get out of going to the meetings?
Let's face it, if you didn't have a drinking problem, you probably wouldn't care about being ordered to go to meetings instead of paying a fine or serving jail time. If it had nothing to do with you (e.g., if you had been ordered to go to overeaters anonymous instead of alcoholics anonymous in order to get out of a worse sentence), you'd probably just suck it up and go, right?

The courts don't care. They will look at your sheet and check off a ox and give it back to you. There is truly no way to verify this information. Just make it look real

The sign-off sheet is for the AA counselor to sign to certify that you went - it's not for the other participants to sign!

Do yourself a favor and listen to "NYCBOY"'s reply. You're not going to get better advice than that!
Good luck

You need to get the person in charge to sign off on you. Court usually know who's in charge, or they can just make a phone call.
Also, if you just find random people to sign, that is lying to the court in a court document. The end result won't be pretty.

Unless it's his first day on the job, your counselor probably has seen guys like you come and go, so he knows where the local meetings are and who their sponsors/leaders are, and has only to pick up the phone to find out whether you were in attendance or not.
(BTW, you mean "anonymity," not "ambiguity.")

By asking for names and phone #'s for the orginazation and calling to verify they work there.
