The word ratification is used to define the action by means of which a person, either in words or through writing, confirms or approves situations or actions. It can then be said that ratification is a way of giving consent to something or someone in order to confirm its approval, its veracity or its continuity somewhere, in the event that it is linked to people. It is of utmost importance for the clarification of facts, as well as to stop rumors since when a ratification is manifested, the uncertainty and mistrust are eliminated altogether.
For example, in a journalistic context, it is important that before the publication of a news item it is ratified, this in order to give it truth and that the medium that is broadcasting it does not lose credibility.
In legal matters, ratification is the declaration of will, by which a person gives his consent to be reached by the effects of a legal act, which initially does not have reasonable legal power to bind him.
On the other hand, the ratification of signatures that are made in public notaries are documents through which the notary states, that the people who appeared before him, came to recognize and ratify the signatures that they stamped on a specific document and that they state that they are entirely in his own handwriting. The only necessary requirement for the completion of this document is the presentation of the original document, whose signatures will be ratified.
