How to Obtain Check Stub Copies

Check stubs are summaries of the instrument's details.

A check stub is a portion of a check instrument that contains a snapshot of the banking institution's name, check issuer's name, check issuer's address, the recipient's name, the date and amount of the instrument. Commonly, it also contains the check number and account and/or routing number. The check stub is kept by the issuer for filing and record keeping purposes. In some instances, the check stub also contains the recipient's address.

Instructions

1. Identify the check issuer. Find the name of the business issuing the check instrument and phone its accounts payable department. Ask for a check-stub copy request form.

2. Complete the request form. Fill out the check stub copy request form in its entirety and return it, along with the filing fee, if applicable, to the issuing department.

3. Wait to receive the check stub copy. Receive the check stub copy by email, mail or fax from the records' department.

Tips & Warnings

• In the alternative, phone the banking institution and ask for a check- stub copy request form. Complete the form and submit it to the bank.
