If the proper pastor of the confirmed person was not present, the minister, either personally or through another, is to make him certain as soon as possible concerning the confirmation conferred.

To prove confirmation conferred, provided that prejudice is done to no one, one witness beyond every exception is sufficient, or the oath of the confirmed person himself, unless the confirmed person was confirmed in infant age.
Ad collatam confirmationem probandam, modo nemini fiat praeiudicium, satis est unus testis omni exceptione maior, vel ipsius confirmati iusiurandum, nisi confirmatus fuerit in infantili aetate.
