confirmations
Proofs something happened
Confirmations are acts of verifying, validating, or making certain.
A confirmation establishes that something is true or will happen: We received confirmation of our hotel reservation.
In Christianity, confirmation is a rite admitting a baptized person to full church membership, typically in adolescence.
In government, confirmation is the process by which a legislative body approves an appointment: The Senate held confirmation hearings for the nominee.
