signed statement

Endorsed written document

A signed statement is a written declaration bearing the author's signature, confirming its authenticity or the signer's agreement to its contents.

The signature transforms ordinary text into something with legal or formal weight: The witness provided a signed statement to police.

Signed statements appear in legal proceedings, employment matters, and official records where accountability matters.
