What is Bates Numbering and Labeling?

Bates numbering, also called Bates labeling or Bates stamping, is a method of assigning unique identifiers (numbers or alphanumeric codes) to each page in a set of documents. It's widely used in legal, business, and medical fields to make document referencing quick and accurate. A Bates label often contains a prefix, a sequential number, and sometimes a suffix - for example: CASE-0001-A. This ensures that every page can be traced, cited, and organized without confusion.
