I am going through a legal divorce from my husband. He called me and said he would verbally divorce me, which he did, but I have been told without witnesses it is not valid. How do I prove I am divorced for a future marriage?

Divorce is the most disliked permissible act أبغض الحلال إلى الله
Yet, if there is no way at all to reconcile and continue but to divorce, divorce has certain conditions without which it is invalid. One of conditions of divorce is two pious men to witness the declaration of divorce. If your husband is really willing to divorce you according to the Islamic rules, he can request a trusted person who knows Arabic to announce divorce on his behalf in the presence of two pious men. You should not be in your menstrual period nor during purity in which you had sexual inter course with your husband.
