Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bates numbering used for?
Bates numbering (also called Bates stamping) is a method of assigning unique sequential numbers to each page of a document set. It is primarily used in legal proceedings for document identification during discovery, depositions, and trials. Each page receives a unique identifier that typically includes a case name or number prefix and a sequential page number. This allows legal teams to reference specific pages across thousands of documents unambiguously.
Can I customize the numbering format?
Yes, you have full control over the Bates numbering format. You can set a custom prefix (such as a case number or client abbreviation), choose the starting number, define the number of digits (with leading zeros), and select the position on the page (top or bottom, left, center, or right). The standard format is PREFIX-000001, but you can customize it to match your firm's requirements or court specifications.
Does Bates numbering modify the original document content?
No. Bates numbers are added as a separate annotation layer on each page, similar to a watermark or header. The original text, images, and layout of your document remain completely unchanged. The numbers appear as clear, non-intrusive labels in the margin area and do not overlap or obscure any content. The tool creates a copy with the numbering applied — your original file is never modified.
Is Bates numbering only for legal professionals?
While Bates numbering is most commonly used in legal discovery and litigation, it is also valuable for anyone who needs to organize large document sets. Accountants use it for audit documentation, insurance companies use it for claim files, real estate professionals use it for property portfolios, and government agencies use it for records management. Any situation requiring precise page-level document identification can benefit from Bates numbering.
