  1. 1

    To attest means to say, or show through official proof, that something is true. A witness can attest that they saw something happen. A document can attest to a fact, meaning it serves as evidence for it. It is a fairly formal word, used in law, official documents, and serious writing — you would not usually say 'I attest' in a casual chat, but you might see it on a form that needs a signature, or hear it in a court case.
