written statement
Recorded official account
A written statement is a formal declaration put into writing, typically for official or legal purposes.
It documents someone's account of events, position on a matter, or acknowledgment of facts: The witness provided a written statement to police.
Written statements carry more weight than verbal claims because they create a permanent record that can be referenced, verified, or used as evidence.
