Note
The plural exists only where confirmation is counted: separate notices that plans stand, separate checks that something is true, separate church ceremonies, separate legal acts making an estate secure. The uncountable use has no plural. Write "we are still awaiting confirmation," not "confirmations," unless several distinct ones are expected, such as one from each witness or each supplier.
