Potvrenje is a term used in several South Slavic languages to denote the act of confirming, validating, or attesting something. The word derives from the verb potvrditi / potvrđivati (to confirm) and is closely related to other forms such as potvrda and potvrđivanje in similar languages. In usage, potvrenje refers to the process of establishing the truth, authenticity, or validity of a statement, document, identity, or dataset.

In administrative and legal contexts, potvrenje describes the attestation of documents, certificates, or records to make them legally effective. In governance and public administration, it may refer to official verification of identity, eligibility, or compliance with requirements. In information technology and data management, potvrenje can denote validation and verification procedures, including cross-checking data against authoritative sources, applying digital signatures, and maintaining audit trails to ensure integrity.

In education and professional credentials, potvrenje is the process by which credentials are verified or confirmed to be authentic. In everyday language, it can simply mean the act of confirming information or statements through confirmation or corroboration.
