Simple steps to create amazing results
Start by writing the current date in the top right corner. Then, write the name of the person or organization receiving the payment on the 'Pay to the Order of' line.
In the small box with the dollar sign ($), write '4000.00' clearly and as far to the left as possible to prevent alterations.
On the long line below the payee's name, write 'Four thousand and 00/100 dollars'. Draw a line through any remaining space to prevent tampering.
Powerful capabilities at your fingertips
Always write 4000.00 in the numerical box to clearly indicate no cents. Use numerals that are legible and start at the far left of the box.
Spell out 'Four thousand and 00/100 dollars' or 'Four thousand and no/100 dollars' on the written line. This is the legal amount if there's a discrepancy.
Fill all blank spaces, use a pen with permanent ink, and write clearly to prevent check fraud or unauthorized alterations to the amount.
Don't forget to sign the check, add a memo if needed, and keep a record of the transaction in your check register for accurate bookkeeping.
