Q: What is Check 21?
On October 28, 2004, a new federal law took effect called Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act  ( Check 21 ). Many financial institutions will no longer return deposited paper checks to account holders. Please see your financial institution for details on their implementation of Check 21.
Safeguard your check-writing records by using duplicate style checks when you reorder. With duplicate checks you get an exact copy of every check you write. Look for Wallet Duplicate binding style available for most check designs.
Q: Why can't I change my starting number to a number lower than my previous order?
Due to restrictions placed by financial institutions, we are unable to change your number to a number lower than your current check order through Check Reorder Express. You may "Contact Us" if you would like assistance.
Q: Why can't my check numbering go higher than 9999?
Due to restrictions placed by financial institutions and due to the space available in the MICR line (the magnetic numbers on the bottom of your check) if your order exceeds four digits the number will be reset with 1001.
