So, if you write a check for $243.26, you will write it out as “Two hundred forty-three dollars and 26/100.” Writing out the correct amount is essential because the words win out legally if there are inconsistencies between the two amounts. Below the “Pay to the Order of” line, write out the check amount in words.
Make sure you write the amount as close to the left-hand border as possible to prevent someone from committing fraud by writing additional digits to the left (for example, changing 100.00 to 2,100.00). Write the amount for the check in the box on the right-hand side of the check. Write the name of the person, company or organization you want to pay on the line that says “Pay to the Order of.” If you’re unsure of the person or organization’s exact name, find out to ensure it’s written correctly. This helps the person receiving the check know when it was written.
In the upper right-hand corner, enter the date the check is written (most likely today’s date).
