Just write “VOID” next to the check number and date, and note who you gave the check to. Writing “VOID” across the front of the check prevents anybody from using the check to make a payment (by filling in a payee and an amount). Nobody will have access to a blank check, which could be used to steal your money.
How do you void a blank check?
To void a check, all you need to do is write the word “VOID” across the front of the check. Write in big letters that ideally go across the areas where you enter information. Use a pen or marker that shows up well on the check. The goal is for the word “VOID” to be clear and unerasable.
How do you send a void check?
To make a voided check you can:
- Write VOID in big letters across the entire face of the check.
- Or, write VOID in the: date line. payee line. amount box. amount line. signature line.
