Drawing up a receipt confirming the receipt of funds in the modern world is perhaps the most common occurrence. However, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation mentions this document only in passing. We will talk about the legal significance of a receipt, how to draw it up correctly, in the article.
Legal force
This issue is quite controversial. It’s worth starting with how to write a receipt correctly. This can be done in two ways: a simple written form and a notarized one. If later it becomes necessary to prove that the document was signed by exactly those persons indicated in it, then the second method simplifies the task. In the first case, it is also possible to prove this legal fact, but it may take a little longer.
Turning to Article 808 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, we see that a receipt is a document provided to confirm a loan agreement, but in no case does it replace it. Its conclusion in the usual written form, without the services of a notary, is an action sufficient to give the paper legal force.
How to write a receipt?
When compiling this document, it is necessary to pay attention to the correctness of filling in the information about the lender and the borrower. Be sure to include the following information:
- full name;
- passport details:
- date and year of birth;
- address by registration and actual place of residence.
Then the amount of the loan received is indicated, it would be best if you indicate it not only in numbers, but also in words. It is relevant to mention that if the loan amount is indicated in a foreign currency (euro, dollars, etc.), it is recommended to prescribe the rate according to which the money will be returned. Be sure to include percentages, if applicable. Information on how to correctly write a receipt regarding the indication of a debt will help to avoid misunderstandings and misunderstandings in the future.
Important and obligatory is the point on the terms in which the borrowed money must be returned. Indicate the exact date, since it is from this day that interest on material benefits (use of other people's funds) will be calculated in the future, as well as the limitation period (claim) will be calculated. The latter is important if the dispute will have to be resolved within the framework of a lawsuit.
Making a receipt
The document is drawn up in a simple form, in writing, it is possible to fill out a standard form in printed form, but this method is not recommended by experts. This is explained by the fact that when using a "live" letter, then it will be easier to do a handwriting examination. And the signature, as you know, is not difficult to fake or it can change.
Registration of a notary's receipt
This option has its advantages and disadvantages:
- the authenticity of the document will be confirmed by the signature of a notary;
- the specialist will offer you his sample if you find it difficult to draw up a document yourself;
- additional costs for notary services and time.
There is no legal requirement for such an assurance.

How to write a receipt for receiving alimony: sample
If the divorce between spouses proceeds peacefully with a civilized approach to the current situation, then the payment of alimony is assumed to be voluntary. Basically, the withholding of earnings and other income occurs at the place of work of the payer or by other alternative methods. Sometimes, having agreed, the former spouses transfer and receive funds from hand to hand. In this case, it is not possible to take and keep checks, and there is no other option but to correctly draw up a receipt (see sample below). When writing it, avoid blots, corrections, handwriting should be even, clear and legible in order to avoid ambiguous interpretation in the future. Use the samples we offer as a basis.

Receipt for receipt of documents
It has a slightly different meaning, but a lot depends on the correctness and literacy of its compilation: the prospect of cooperation with clients, material gain and a court decision. There is no established pattern or template. When writing a receipt, it is necessary to be guided by standard rules in the field of office work, business customs and generally accepted standards.
We will advise you on how to properly prepare a receipt for receipt of documents. There are two ways of registration: traditional or in the form of an act of acceptance and transfer. In any case, the following details must be provided:
- the name of the document being drawn up (acceptance certificate or receipt);
- information about the recipient (including date of birth, place of residence and registration, passport data);
- the place and date when the documents were submitted;
- the purpose of the transfer of documents and the timing of their return (in specific cases);
- name, number and series of each individual document according to the list, indicating the date of their signing and volume (number of sheets);
- when drawing up an act of acceptance and transfer, it is necessary to indicate the data of the person who transfers the documents;
- if the recipient takes a copy, then it is required to indicate its type (certified by a notary or other person, simple);
- signature of the person who accepted the documentation, and its decryption is required
Of the general recommendations on how to properly write a receipt for the transfer of important papers, it is worth noting two more points. Firstly, the handwritten method of its compilation is preferable to typewritten. Secondly, if any corrections are made, they must be certified by the person who made them, and in the case of an acceptance certificate, by both parties. Thirdly, if the receipt takes several pages, then the signature of the person who compiled it should not be on a separate sheet.
