Sometimes a referral source asks for proof of attendance at A.A. meetings.
Groups cooperate in different ways. There is no set procedure.
The nature and extent of any group’s involvement in this process are entirely up to the individual group. Some groups, with the consent of the prospective member, have an A.A. member acknowledge attendance on a slip that has been furnished by the referral source.
The referred person is responsible for returning the proof of attendance. This proof of attendance at meetings is not part of A.A.’s procedure.
Each group is autonomous and has the right to choose whether or not to sign court slips. In some areas, the attendees report on themselves, at the request of the referring agency, and thus alleviate braking A.A. members’ anonymity.
