countersigners

Secondary document signers

Countersigners are people who add their signature to a document already signed by another, providing additional authentication or witness.

Banks require countersigners on checks above certain amounts.

Legal documents often need countersigners to verify the primary signer's identity: The application requires two countersigners who have known you for at least two years.
