Generally. The signature of each party to a bond executed by a noncorporate principal or surety must be witnessed by two persons, who must sign their names as witnesses, and include their addresses.
Witness for both principal and surety. When two persons signing as witnesses act for both principal and surety, they must so indicate by stating on the bond “as to both”.
