Write the dollar amount in the “$” box (include cents if required by your bank’s form).
Write the cents amount as a two-digit number (00–99) after the decimal in the “$” box.
On the “Pay to the Order Of” line, write the recipient’s name.
On the line for the amount in words, write the dollar amount in words.
If there are cents, write “and” followed by the cents in words (e.g., “and 25/100”).
If the amount is a whole dollar with no cents, write “and 00/100”.
Use exact wording for the cents: “xx/100” where xx is the two-digit cents amount.
Double-check that the numeric amount in the “$” box matches the amount in words.
Sign the check on the signature line.
