The short answer: The Witness I Know option lets you bring your own witness to a Florida real estate closing — either remotely or physically with you — instead of using an on-demand witness.
1. Remote witness
Choose Remote to invite someone you know to act as a witness from a separate location. Fill out the witness form with their information and select Add Witness — they'll receive an email with a link to the transaction and will join the meeting in their own video box.
2. Witness physically with you
Choose Physically with me to have a witness attend the meeting within your own video box. The witness must be co-located with you and remain on camera while performing their witnessing duties. Enter their information to add their name below your video feed — you'll also have the ability to assign them as a penholder.
Summary Checklist
- Confirm the transaction is a Florida real estate closing prepared on the Proof platform.
- Choose Remote or Physically with me based on where your witness is located.
- Fill out the witness form and select Add Witness to notify them or add them to your video feed.
