AI Explanation

Subscribing Witness Journal Entry. When a subscribing witness appears to prove the execution of a document, the Subscribing Witness is the person actually appearing before the notary. Therefore, the Subscribing Witness must sign the notary's sequential journal. The Credible Witness (used to identify the SW) must either sign the journal or have their ID recorded.
