HI,

The instructions say that I should write the A-Number on the back of the check.

1.) Should I write it using a pen or a pencil?
2.) Should I write it on the X (signature) line or a bit below?
3.) Should I also write the A-Number on the from of the check in the memo field?

Thanks!
 
Write A number only on the memo line (on the left side at the bottom) with pen. Don't write anything on the back.
 
Don't complicate things. Either write it in memo field or in back of check. There's no right or wrong way. The reason checks have "do not write below signature line" on back of checks is that banks put routing information there.
