Simple steps to create amazing results
Write the current date in the top right corner of the check. Use the format MM/DD/YYYY or write out the month (e.g., January 15, 2024).
On the 'Pay to the Order of' line, write the name of the person or business receiving the $70. Use their full legal name or business name for accuracy.
Write '$70.00' in the small box on the right side. In the longer line below, write 'Seventy and 00/100' dollars. This confirms the amount in words and prevents alterations.
Powerful capabilities at your fingertips
Write '$70.00' clearly in the small box to the right of the recipient's name. Include the decimal point and cents to prevent anyone from altering the amount.
Write 'Seventy and 00/100' on the line below the recipient's name. Draw a line through any remaining space to prevent tampering. This written amount takes legal precedence.
Add an optional note in the memo line (like 'Invoice #123'). Sign your name on the bottom right line - without your signature, the check is invalid.
