Writing a Handwritten Receipt

If you are unable to attain a formal receipt for an expense, you can create your own handwritten receipt. 

Create your own handwritten receipt if the organization or person doesn't provide one for you, by including the following information with it:

• Your name
• What was purchased
• Amount paid
• Date
• Type of payment (check #, cash, etc)
• Name of the store (or individual) who received the money (please also include contact info (phone/email) if payment was made to an individual)
• A verification statement from a worker at the store/individual who received the money should also be included on the written receipt along with a signature to verify the statement. Example statement: “I, name, received this money from name to cover the cost of expense in which they participated, or purchased from me, etc. on this date. -Signature”. Or, you can have the person email you the verification statement needed from their personal email address (instead of receiving their signature in person) and attach a copy of that email along with the handwritten receipt when submitting the expense.
