The original physical Bates stamp applied a four-digit number to consecutive pages. But many modern digital Bates numbering tools let you create unique identifiers for a document.

ESI evidence (which derives from the 1s and 0s of computer bits and bytes) does not require a Bates-stamp because it has something even better - a unique fingerprint. For every computer file, there is a 32-digit key that is unique to that file.

While the original Bates stamps only used numbers (up to a maximum of 9999), there is no set format for Bates numbering. It may be purely numeric or alphanumeric. Either way, Bates numbering is essentially a paper-based method, most useful for printed productions or page-based images.

But, consistent with The Bluebook, the first citation should make it very clear what is being referenced, such as (Bates Jones000001) or (Bates d123-002), and subsequent consecutive cites should follow the usual practice of Id. followed by the page number, such as (Id. 000017) or (Id. -017).

Using Acrobat DC Pro, you can automatically apply Bates numbering as a header or footer to any document or to documents in a PDF Portfolio (If the PDF Portfolio contains non-PDF files, Acrobat converts the files to PDF and add Bates numbering). You can add custom prefixes and suffixes, as well as a date stamp.

What is Bates numbering? Bates numbering is a method of sequentially numbering pages with a reference identifier to make them easier to locate and reference. This could be as simple as sequential numbers like ?0001? and ?0002,? or it may include alphanumeric strings (such as ?ABC_0001? and ?ABC_0002?).
