An HSK 3.0 word that is not yet in CC-CEDICT: https://github.com/krmanik/HSK-3.0-words-list/blob/main/HSK%20List/HSK%207-9.txt#:~:text=做证

Based on this.. https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/29466211.html?fr=qrl&cid=209&index=1

..做证 is the same as https://cc-cedict.org/editor/editor.php?handler=QueryDictionary&querydictionary_search=作证

做证 is as widely used as 作证: https://context.reverso.net/翻译/中文-英语/做证
-------------------------------------

Editor:
1) The quoted zhidao webpage claims that 做证 is wrong (是个错误的词), and that the word should be written as 作证.
So it makes no sense to say "Based on [that webpage], 做证 is the same as 作证."

2) 作证 appears to be the form that was predominant in the past, and 做证 seems to have become more common only relatively recently.
In Taiwan, 作證 is FAR more common, and indeed, Taiwan dictionaries only have entries for 作證 — not 做證.

3) 作证 has *two* distinct senses.
These are given in the quoted zhidao webpage as
1.当证人;提供证据.
2.当证据. Ex: 可以作证的材料太少.
