What is the maximum number of signatories in any document involving government services?

• A. Three
• B. Two
• C. Four
• D. Five

Answer: (A)

In government service documents, signatories show who initiates, approves, and verifies the action, creating clear accountability and proper authorization. The maximum number is three because the process typically needs three distinct roles: the applicant who starts the request, the approving official who grants permission, and a certifying or validating officer who confirms compliance and authenticity. Keeping to three maintains a necessary balance between having enough checks and not creating unnecessary delays or confusion from too many signatories. Introducing more than three would slow things down and dilute accountability, while too few (like two) wouldn’t provide sufficient independent checks. So, three is the upper limit.
