Legal paper, what’s it asking for?

[Major Fallout]

Dated..... this day of ..... 20



Eh?

[Raddors]

I believe its just the date. So today is:

Dated this 5th Day of March 2019

So you write 19 after them.


For clarity there should be some dots after the 20 as well.

Thank you!

Yup

Or better 05th Day of March 2019

Always put a number before a single day number, that is put 05 so that 5 cannot converted into 15 or 25. Always write the month rather than a number, to avoid cases where it may be an international document and USA day/month number orders may apply. Even better, use ISO dating, i.e.
2019030
Although many people will not understand that, but that is what we used in a multi-national company.

Or wait 10 months.

Consider getting someone else to look at the paper for you.

I've seen plenty of documents with this form of date but still had to think about this one.

I wouldn't be too happy with a document which has the signature and date on a sheet of its own. The less than scrupulous could attach the signature page to a modified document the signatory wouldn't have agreed to.

... unless you miss a digit off the end
