certifiable

Able to confirm

Certifiable means able to be certified or officially confirmed: The diamond came with certifiable proof of its origin.

More commonly, certifiable describes someone whose mental state warrants commitment to an institution—legally insane: He's absolutely certifiable.

This psychiatric sense has loosened into informal use for anyone acting crazy or irrational: You'd have to be certifiable to swim in that water.
